The rancher says he quickly got his horse out of its trailer, grabbed a rope, rode over and lassoed the man and bicycle.
Eagle Point police Sgt. Darin May says officers arrived and found a lassoed man and bike on the ground in the parking lot.
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.
