Sutherlin Police jailed a man for an alleged assault incident on Sunday night.

An SPD report said shortly before 11:00 p.m. a victim reported that a family member was out of control in the 300 block of Sunset Street. When officers arrived, the victim was found to have injuries from the 25-year-old suspect reportedly punching her in the face.

When talking with the suspect, the man allegedly jumped out of the home through a window and reportedly fled on foot. Officers quickly caught up to the man and he allegedly attempted to fight, swinging at officers. He was taken to the ground, and reportedly continued to pull his arms in, but was able to be handcuffed without further incident.

The man was medically cleared at CHI Mercy Medical Center and taken to jail. He was charged with fourth-degree assault. The man was detained without bail.
