A Roseburg man was jailed after an alleged shoplifting incident Monday night.

A Roseburg Police report said just before 11:00 p.m. 32-year old Joshua Vernon allegedly attempted to push a cart full of merchandise out of Walmart in the 2100 block of Northwest Stewart Parkway. An officer made contact with the suspect near the garden center and detained him. The officer learned Vernon had been trespassed from the store a year ago for shoplifting.

Vernon was charged with third-degree theft, first-degree criminal trespass and for a parole violation. He was held without bail.
