A transient was arrested by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Tuesday after an incident in the 4300 block of Garden Valley Road, west of Roseburg.

A DCSO report said at 7:20 a.m. the 28-year old was at a business allegedly stealing pennies and asking for lighters. Eventually he became a nuisance and when an employee gave him a lighter in hopes that he would leave, the suspect allegedly threw the lighter.

The business owner and other employees asked to man to leave. He did not, and pulled out a pocket knife from his clothing, though did not open it or threaten anyone. Ultimately the man left after being asked to multiple times. He had already been trespassed from the store earlier that day.

Deputies contacted the suspect nearby and learned he had warrants for his arrest. He was taken into custody and charged with second-degree criminal trespass and for the warrants. Bail was set at $10,000.
