Roseburg Police jailed a man following an alleged disturbance early Friday.

Information from RPD said at 2:20 a.m. a caller said the suspect was one half of a disturbance in the 1200 block of Northeast Malheur Avenue.  After police arrived the 35-year old allegedly took off running and jumped a fence. His shirt got caught on the fence, causing him to hit his face on the fence before falling directly onto his head. The suspect stayed down until additional officers could get to the other side of the fence where he was detained for a warrant.

The report said while being searched, the man was allegedly found to be in possession of a small amount of fentanyl.

The suspect was detained for the warrant and cited for the fentanyl. He was released later in the morning.
