Roseburg Police arrested a man after allegedly finding him trespassing in a vacant home early Monday.

Around 1:30 a.m., RPD officers said they noticed the front door was open to a vacant home that is for sale. When officers approached, they reportedly saw a man run across the living room and closed the front door.

The 40-year-old Roseburg man was detained in the backyard of the home after he exited the house in an attempt to escape, according to police. The man reportedly told police that he had permission to stay at the residence.

He was lodged at Douglas County Corrections on charges of first degree criminal trespass and a parole violation. He has since been released.
