A Roseburg man was arrested after a reported menacing incident on Saturday.

Information from Roseburg Police said at 11:40 a.m. officers responded to a man hitting signs with a metal pipe at the downtown parking structure on Southeast Rose. Officers contacted 30-year old Alex Dickson at a nearby intersection. The suspect allegedly walked away when he was told to stop several times. Dickson reportedly turned around and walked fast at the officer, holding the pipe and a wooden stick behind his back.

Dickson was taken into custody and charged with resisting arrest, second-degree disorderly conduct and for menacing.
