Officials at the Roseburg VA have reacted to the arrest of a Roseburg VA police officer.

Public Affairs Director Tim Parish issued a statement which said, “These allegations are abhorrent”.

Robert Roady was arrested by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on multiple counts of invasion of personal privacy after he allegedly admitted to placing cameras in the room of a 14-year old female for sexual purposes.

In a statement released to News Radio 1240 KQEN Parish said the “Roseburg Health Care System is taking the appropriate steps to hold this individual accountable and has already suspended his law enforcement authority and has taken his badge and service weapon”.

The statement continued: “VA has made it clear that it will hold employees accountable when they fail to live up to the high standards Veterans and taxpayers expect, and that’s exactly what we’re doing in this case”.
