Roseburg Police jailed a man for an alleged menacing and weapon incident, on Monday.

An RPD report said just after 10:20 a.m. officers contacted a victim in the 700 block of Southeast Oak Street. The man said a suspect had pulled a knife on him and made a lunging motion with the knife. The victim said the suspect placed him in fear for his life and he believed the man was going to stab him. The victim said the suspect had a black handled, fixed bladed knife. An independent witness who was across the street said he saw the suspect make a stabbing motion towards the victim with a black object in his hand.

Officers contacted the suspect near the corner of Southeast Rose Street and Southeast Cass Avenue. He denied ever pulling a knife. The officer observed the black handle of a fixed blade knife sticking out of the suspect’s shirt pocket and took him into custody.

The 42-year old was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and menacing. Bail was set at $62,250.
