One person was jailed and one was cited for offensive littering by Roseburg Police on Monday.

An RPD report said the male and female transients, both age 35, were contacted at their camp which is along the multi-use path between Interstate 5 and the Roseburg VA Medical Center. Trash was scattered on the ground around their campsite, along with a very large amount of trash piled up around their tent. Officers estimated there to be about 7 large trash bags worth of debris and trash around the camp.

Officers told the pair that the quantity of trash around their camp was unacceptable, which they agreed with. Officers gave them trash bags and instructed them to bag up the trash.

The female’s parole officer authorized that she be jailed for a parole violation. The male was told where to place the trash bags once he filled them.
