A 69-year old man was cited by Roseburg Police, after allegedly attempting to steal breakfast on Wednesday night.

The RPD report said at 10:00 p.m. Thomas Morris reportedly refused to leave a motel lobby on Mulholland Drive. The report said the suspect had tried to take a bag of breakfast foods, even though he was not a guest. When officers arrived, Morris was escorted to the parking lot, where he yelled until guests came out of their rooms and into the parking lot. The report said the man charged at an officer twice while yelling obscenities in an attempt to provoke a violent response. Morris was cited for second degree counts of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct and for harassment. He was released after being cited.
