Robert Borba was at the Eagle Point store loading dog food and a camping tent into his truck when he heard a woman screaming that someone was trying to steal her bike, the Medford Mail Tribune reports. The 28-year-old said he quickly got his horse, Long John, out of its trailer. He grabbed a rope, rode over to the man who was reportedly struggling with the bike gears and attempting to flee on foot. Borba lassoed the man around the legs and when he dropped, Borba dragged him to one end of the parking lot. “I seen this fella trying to get up to speed on a bicycle,” Borba told the Tribune. “I wasn’t going to catch him on foot. I just don’t run very fast.” Borba said the man tried to grab a tree and get away, but he kept the rope tight and the man in place.

Darin May said officers arrived and found the las- soed man and bike on the ground in the parking lot. “We’ve never had anyone lassoed and held until we got there,” May said. “That’s a first for me.” Police arrested Victorino Arellano-Sanchez, whom they described as a transient from the Seattle area, on a theft charge. Arellano-Sanchez is jailed in Jackson County. Staff members at the jail say they don’t think he has an attorney. 31 Sisters salutes...
