A transient was cited for littering near a waterway in Gaddis Park on Monday.

A Roseburg Police report said at 10:45 a.m. the 54-year old man was contacted near the park’s bike jumps in the 800 block of Northwest Highland Street. The man has allegedly been camped out in the same area for the last month. The camp is 50 feet from the north bank of the South Umpqua River. Officers have issued the man multiple warnings to clean up his mess, and had given him trash bags.

The report said originally the camp contained about 1 truckload of garbage, but it has grown to around 3 truckloads of garbage. The transient was cited and released. He stated that he would start cleaning up the mess.
