Deputies Arrested Roseburg Man for Disturbance at Murphy Area Residence
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested a Roseburg man for illegally entering a Murphy area property, disturbing the residents and refusing to leave.
According to the Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the incident in the 800-block of Hyde Park Drive on Wednesday around 10:15 p.m..
Deputies said the residents reported that a 50-year-old man broke into their backyard, got into an argument with them and refused to leave. They said one of the residents started throwing things at the man, but he screamed at her and would not allow her to shut the gate. The subject was believed to be heavily impaired.
Upon arrival, deputies contacted the man and discovered that he was wanted on a Sweet Home municipal warrant for failing to appear in court for impaired driving. The Oregon State Police assisted deputies with a successful Taser deployment.
The suspect was described as "uncooperative and under the influence of an unknown drug." He was placed into custody and during the ride to the Josephine County Jail, he started spitting all over the inside of the patrol vehicle so deputies stopped at Hidden Valley Market and placed a spit hood on him.
The suspect then started kicking so deputies stopped on Williams Highway at Jaynes Drive and placed him in ankle restraints. He was eventually booked into jail without bail for Criminal Trespass, Harassment and the outstanding warrant.
