Roseburg Police jailed a man following alleged disorderly conduct on Friday.

An RPD report said at around 1:30 p.m. 45-year old Darren Smith was contacted at a business on Southeast Stephens Street for trespassing. He was refusing to leave the property but eventually decided to move along.

A short time later a witness reported seeing Smith throw a metal News Review paper box located in front of the Employment Office in the 800 block of Southeast Pine Street, into the street. The paper box was slightly damaged. Officers made contact with Smith across the street, where he was arrested without incident. While searching the suspect, Smith was allegedly found to be in possession of several homemade “shanks”, also known as stabbing knives.

Smith was charged with second-degree counts of disorderly conduct, criminal trespass and criminal mischief, two counts each of carrying a concealed weapon and for being a felon in possession of a restricted weapon, and for a probation violation. Smith was detained without bail.
