Description

On Oct 15, 2026 about mid-morning, officers responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence on Keasey St.  Officers contacted William McCullough at the door and entered the residence to secure a female victim who was seeking our assistance.  William retreated to his bedroom and armed himself with a firearm, at which point officers grabbed the victim and exited to safety.  William then refused to exit the residence.  Keasey Street was blocked off for several hours while negotiations were conducted by the Roseburg Police and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Crisis Negotiation Teams, ultimately leading to the arrest of William.  Several deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, an Oregon State Police Trooper, Roseburg Fire and Umpqua Valley Ambulance assisted Roseburg officers.   No lethal or non-lethal weapons were discharged, and nobody was injured.  There is no ongoing safety concerns for the public and Keasey Street was reopened.  During this incident, several local businesses were advised to go into lockdown, and surrounding residents were advised to shelter in place.  William was arrested and lodged at Douglas County Jail on charges of Domestic Menacing, Domestic Strangulation, and Menacing.
