Roseburg Police jailed a woman following an alleged reckless burning incident on Saturday.

An RPD report said just after 10:00 p.m. officers responded to reports of the 26-year old lighting a trash can on fire in the 700 block of Southeast Jackson downtown. When officers arrived, they observed a city trash can completely engulfed in flames. Officers located the suspect behind a nearby business, allegedly attempting to light a second, larger dumpster on fire.

The woman was detained. The report said numerous witnesses said they watched the suspect lighting the fire, before she walked off. The suspect was charged with reckless burning and for second-degree criminal mischief. Bail was set at $12,500.
