A transient was jailed by Sutherlin Police on Sunday.

An SPD report said last Wednesday 36-year old Joshua Gomez allegedly chased a victim while holding a pair of pruning shears, in the 100 block of South Calapooia Street. The report said a witness indicated the suspect had something long and sharp in his hand after he threw the shears. The victim raised a shovel at Gomez and left the scene.

Gomez was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, menacing and second-degree disorderly conduct. He was released on Monday.
