Roseburg Police charged a man following an alleged assault on Wednesday night.

Information from RPD said just after 7:00 p.m. officers investigated a disturbance that occurred when the suspect took a shared infant child from a residence in the 1600 block of Estelle. The report said 36-year old Rhett Sheldon allegedly fled to another residence where he hid the child from police behind the home. The man was found and detained.

The investigation said the female victim sustained significant pain from the struggle with Sheldon. The report said there is also a no contact release agreement in place preventing the suspect from having contact with the victim.

Sheldon was detained for fourth-degree felony assault and for violation of a no contact release agreement. Bail was set at $55,000.
