Two transients were cited for littering within one hundred yards of a waterway, by Roseburg Police on Wednesday.

An RPD report said at 1:30 p.m. officers contacted the men near the corner of Northeast Stephens Street and Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard, due to a growing accumulation of trash and debris around and nearby the eagle statue. Officers had been there numerous times in the previous two days in an attempt to contact the culprit.

This time three quarters of the concrete pad was covered with trash and debris, with clothing pieces hanging on the statue. The area is only sixty feet from the west bank of Deer Creek. The transients were instructed to clean up the mess within the hour.
