Good morning, Grants Pass.

Oregon State Police are asking for the public’s help after 55-year-old David Scott was arrested last Friday on charges of first-degree rape and three counts of first-degree sodomy in Grants Pass; court records show he was previously charged in 2020 with kidnapping after allegedly abducting a man in Medford and demanding ransom.

During Wednesday’s board meeting, community advocate Vanessa Ogier, who ran for City Council last year, criticized the county’s poor emergency response to the Board Shanty Fire and was removed by appointed Commissioner Andreas Blech when she exceeded the speaking limit — an action that raised questions about government transparency. She said the IT-heavy emergency system did not alert residents on time, leaving many at risk.
