ROSEBURG, Ore. - An adult in custody fled a Douglas County Circuit Court courtroom following a hearing on Friday afternoon prompting a swift and large-scale police search. 24-year-old Alexander Matthew Pearson of Reedsport who was in custody on a probation violation had been transported from the Douglas County Jail to appear in court for a hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, Pearson ran from the courtroom. One deputy was able to grab ahold of Pearson before he pulled away and continued his escape out of the courthouse. Deputies gave chase and received information from the public that Pearson had ran toward a homeless encampment referred to as "The Point". Multiple deputies both from the patrol and corrections divisions, along with assistance from the Roseburg Police Department and Douglas County Parole and Probation converged on the area and began searching. After approximately 20 minutes, Pearson was located hiding under a blanket in a tent. He was taken into custody without further incident. Pearson now faces additional charges to include Escape II and Resisting Arrest.
