ROSEBURG, Ore. -- A Roseburg woman is in custody after attempting to run away from a traffic stop and hide from deputies.
On Tuesday, April 17, 2018, at about 10:30 pm, a deputy observed a 2002 Toyota Camry on Austin Road with a malfunctioning headlight. The driver of the vehicle turned onto Hanna Street as the deputy was turning around to conduct a traffic stop.
The driver parked the vehicle in a driveway in the 4000-block of Hanna Street and exited. The deputy told the driver, identified as 19 year-old Roseburg resident Sarah Brittney King, to stop. King ran into the house, which deputies entered and located her.
King physically resisted being arrested, but was eventually taken into custody. She was transported to the Douglas County Jail and lodged on the following charges:
- Attempt to Elude Police on Foot
- Resisting Arrest
- Interfering With Police
