A Roseburg man was jailed after allegedly lighting a tree on fire, early Saturday.

A Roseburg Police report said just after 12:50 a.m. officers were flagged down by patrons of a business after they saw the 30-year old light a small tree on fire in the 1400 block of Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard. The suspect initially refused to stop for officers and walked down the road holding the small tree that was burning at one end.

The man eventually complied and was taken into custody. He was charged with second-degree disorderly conduct and for prohibited outdoor burning. Bail was set at $2,500.
