GP Police Break Up Crowd, Arrested Disorderly Suspect for Resisting

Police witnessed a disturbance at the 238 Bar this morning, and one suspect was lodged in jail for Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest.

While patrolling the parking lot at 1:33, the Grants Pass Police officer observed several individuals grabbing onto a man that was yelling and attempting to fight. After pulling up to the scene outside the 1620 Williams Highway business, the officer told the crowd to disperse.

The individuals began pointing at one suspect, indicating him as the primary aggressor. He refused to identify himself and started yelling at law enforcement, stating someone else had attacked him. He was placed in handcuffs, and continued yelling and cussing at officers, attempting to pull away during a search of his person.

A spit hood was placed on the suspect, later identified as Ronnie Shipley. He was placed under arrest for Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree, and Resisting Arrest. Officers transported him to jail where he was subsequently lodged.
