A man was jailed for an earlier alleged menacing incident by Roseburg Police early Tuesday.

A Roseburg Police report said at 5:00 a.m. officers contacted the 23-year old in the parking lot of a business in the 3300 block of Northwest Aviation Drive. The suspect was questioned about a November 17th incident where he allegedly chased a victim in the same parking lot while holding a machete. The man admitted to most of the incident but claimed he did not remember holding the machete. He said he chased the woman out of the parking lot to scare her off the property.

The suspect was taken into custody. Bail was set at $6,250.
