A Myrtle Creek man was jailed on assault and burglary charges by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office early Sunday.

A DCSO report said at 4:45 a.m. a victim said that 43-year old Christopher Jones, who is known to her, entered her house in the 200 block of Southwest Briggs Drive, through a window, and started an altercation. Jones allegedly pushed the victim and punched her on the side of the head.

Jones was not at that location when a deputy arrived, but was later located on South Old Pacific Highway by Myrtle Creek Police. He was charged with two counts of fourth-degree assault and for first-degree burglary. Jones was detained without bail.
