A Roseburg man was jailed after an alleged burglary early Friday.

A Roseburg Police report said at 3:15 a.m. 49-year old Anthony Cortes allegedly broke the window out of Red Barn Dispensary on West Umpqua Street with a metal pole. Cortes reportedly stole an empty container of pre-rolls, then went to the nearby laundromat on West Harvard, and broke their window.

Cortes was found next to the second business with the pole. An officer told the suspect to drop the pole and he did. After being told he was under arrest multiple times, the man ran off. After a short foot pursuit, an officer deployed a taser and detained Cortes.

He was charged with second-degree burglary, two counts of first-degree criminal mischief, third degree counts of theft and escape, and for a probation violation. Cortes was jailed without bail.
