An incident that started in the parking lot of Fred Meyer and continued onto Garden Valley Boulevard, led to a Roseburg woman being cited on Tuesday morning.

A report from Roseburg Police said at just after 9:00 a.m. a 31-year old woman and a man were involved in a physical disturbance. A store employee reported seeing the woman punch the man several times, in front of their young children. The report said the man drove away but the woman allegedly ran after the car and punched it as the man was driving.

The employee said the man stopped the car in the street and got out, as did the children. The woman then reportedly got into the driver seat and drove off, nearly hitting one of the children. When officers arrived, the couple were yelling at each other. Child welfare staff were called to the scene and the children were released to another family member.

Later in the morning as the investigation continued, officers allegedly found methamphetamine in the suspect’s purse. The woman was cited for unlawful possession of meth and for second degree disorderly conduct.
