A Roseburg man was jailed by Roseburg Police, following an alleged criminal trespass incident Thursday night.

An RPD report said 31-year old Merrill Ball allegedly stole 2 beers from the Downtown Market in the 700 block of Southeast Jackson Street and then was trespassed from the business. Ball allegedly returned just after 11:20 p.m. and threatened to shoot an employee when he was told to leave. The suspect reportedly blocked vehicular traffic for approximately 50 feet before being taken into custody.

Ball was charged with second-degree counts of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct and for a third-degree count of theft. He was detained on $5,000 bail.
