ROSEBURG, Ore. - The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has arrested two Instructional Assistants from the Roseburg School District following an investigation into suspicious injuries to a child.  
  
On Tuesday, February 10, 2026, deputies were notified by school administrators that two students in the Developmental Learning Center at Fremont Middle School had sustained injuries during the school day. The students' guardians sought medical care. It was discovered that one student had sustained broken bones and another had sustained a laceration requiring sutures.  
  
Deputies began an investigation, conducting interviews and reviewing available evidence. It was determined that during a physical education segment of the curriculum, both students were observed at different times playing behind large rolled-up mats next to a wall.  
  
The first incident occurred when 60-year-old Brian Joseph Marsters of Roseburg, an instructional assistant employed by the school, allegedly ran at a high rate of speed and slammed into the mat, pinning the first child between the mat and the wall and resulting in injury.  
  
Upon further investigation, deputies confirmed the second child was injured in a similar manner when another instructional assistant, 23-year-old Erich Michael Hoque of Roseburg, engaged in similar conduct, injuring the second victim.  
  
Deputies contacted Marsters and Hoque. Both individuals denied participating in any activities that would have caused the injuries or having any knowledge that the students had sustained injuries. Marsters and Hoque were taken into custody on Thursday, February 12, 2026, without incident and transported to the Douglas County Jail, where they were both lodged on charges of Assault in the Fourth Degree and Official Misconduct in the First Degree.  
  
The Douglas County Sheriffโ€™s Office appreciates the cooperation of the Roseburg School District during this investigation. Featured News by Douglas County Sheriff
