Deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office jailed a Roseburg man following an alleged assault on Saturday.

A DCSO report said just after 5:40 p.m. the 30-year old allegedly pepper sprayed a victim in the parking lot of a business in the 4000 block of Carnes Road in Green. The report said the confrontation came after the victim had left their dog in a vehicle while inside the business. The suspect told the victim that their actions were irresponsible while the victim claimed they had not been gone very long.

After the victim took a step towards the suspect, he was pepper sprayed. The report said footage showed it did not appear the victim was acting aggressive and there was no need for the action.

The suspect was charged with fourth-degree assault and for unlawful use of mace. He was detained without bail.
