Roseburg Police jailed a transient following an alleged harassment incident on Tuesday.

An RPD report said just before 10:00 p.m. the man and a female were staying at a motel in the 600 block of West Madone Street when the suspect became aggressive and held the victim down, slapping her as she screamed. The woman fled the room and a U.S. Department of Interior National Park Service Chief Ranger, who happened to be staying in the motel, detained the man in handcuffs until police arrived.

The transient was charged with harassment and for a parole violation. He was detained without bail.
