A fugitive was jailed following an alleged child neglect incident by Roseburg Police on Thursday.

An RPD report said at about 9:40 a.m. officers responded to a business in the 400 block of Northwest Garden Valley Boulevard after citizens pulled a child out of the roadway because they were almost hit by a vehicle. The mother made her way to the business to look for the child and officers learned the child was able to leave the yard through a hole in the fencing while she was unattended.

The report said during the contact, officers learned that the 34-year old woman had an outstanding warrant out of Canyonville Justice Court. She was taken into custody and her children were left in the care of their father.

The fugitive was charged with second-degree child neglect and for a probation violation. Bail was set at $8,760.
