Roseburg Police arrested a man following an alleged disturbance on Saturday.

An RPD report said at 7:45 p.m. officers responded to the 1000 block of Southeast Stephens Street after a Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy found a man that had just been in a fight. Upon arrival, the deputy learned that the other half of the fight was in the garage and had a gun with him.

The victim was detained without issue. Officers learned that the 18-year-old suspect had hit the victim and chased him outside when the victim tried to flee from the fight. When the suspect followed, the victim produced a BB gun and told the other man to stop chasing him and to leave the residence. The suspect allegedly continued to charge at the victim and took him to the ground and reportedly hit him several times. The victim reportedly rolled on top of the suspect and hit him with the gun three times, before the fight was broken up by officers.

The suspect was taken into custody without issue. He was cited and released from corrections due to a medical issue.
