JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown Police Department have arrested a man after he tried to escape custody Monday morning at Sunnyside Trailer Court.

Major Justin Blinsky says officers received information from an anonymous concerned citizen reporting a male with an active arrest warrant in the trailer court. The caller indicated that the suspect drove a vehicle to the trailer house, which was still parked outside.

“Police responded and observed a male walking into the residence,” Major Blinksy stated. “The officer attempted to make contact at the residence and a female answered the door. She notified officers of the male’s identity in the back bedroom. Officers attempted to make contact, but the suspect fled out of a window and ran through the trailer park.”

Officers witnessed the suspect flee into another trailer. A perimeter was set around the residence as they attempted to convince the suspect to come out and give himself up.

“The male refused to acknowledge the officers commands and a search warrant was obtained for the residence,” Sgt. Blinksy reported.

During the search, officers located Gary Zinck Jr., a 43 year-old resident of Jamestown, inside the entryway of the trailer house. He was arrested for a Parole Violations warrant and was taken into custody without incident.

The Jamestown Police Department was assisted by the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office and North Dakota Dept of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The incident remains under investigation.
