Roseburg Police jailed a man following an alleged menacing incident on Wednesday.

An RPD report said just after 4:00 p.m. officers responded to a call regarding a man with a black handgun who allegedly pointed it at a victim’s vehicle which was in the parking lot of a business in the 700 block of Northeast Garden Valley Boulevard.

The suspect’s vehicle was located a short distance away. Officers performed a high-risk stop and the 50-year old was taken into custody without incident. The suspect admitted to brandishing the pepper ball gun since someone had “cat-called” his girlfriend.

Both victims said they were in fear because the man had pointed the gun at them.

The suspect was charged with a second-degree count of disorderly conduct. He was held on $6,250 bail.
