A male teen was rescued from on top of a cellular phone tower and then cited by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office early Friday morning.

A DCSO report said shorty after 2:30 a.m. the 17-year old called in and said he was at the top of the structure and didn’t know how to get down. The tower was in the 200 block of Robin Street, just off of Highway 138E, east of Roseburg. The subject also said that he had been drinking.

The Technical Rescue Team from Douglas County Fire District No. 2 responded and was successful at getting the subject down from the ninety-foot tall tower. The juvenile was cited for second-degree criminal trespass and for being a minor in possession of alcohol. He was released to a parent.
