A Myrtle Creek man was jailed for an alleged menacing incident by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office early Saturday.

A DCSO report said at about 2:45 a.m. deputies were dispatched to a home in the 4000 block of Bilger Creek Road for a disturbance involving a knife. The victim was contacted nearby and showed deputies the disturbance on his phone.

The 19-year old suspect had a large knife in his hand and was swinging it around while screaming at the victim, who was only about a foot away. Deputies took the suspect into custody. He was charged with menacing and was detained without bail.
