December 12, 2022 10:40 a.m.

A Roseburg man was cited for two incidents, by the Roseburg Police on Saturday.

An RPD report said at 12:30 p.m. officers responded to a business in the 2100 block of Northwest Stewart Parkway after a caller said a suspect had stolen a pair of boots. Officers located the suspect nearby and found he was still wearing the boots. The shoes were returned to the business and the man was cited for third-degree theft.

While he was still in custody, officers learned the man was a suspect in a separate case where a tent was lit on fire on the lawn of the Douglas County Courthouse. He was cited for second-degree criminal mischief and for reckless burning.

42-year old Michael Shilts was released after the citations were issued.
