JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A man was taken into custody following an assault in the northwest part of Jamestown Friday afternoon.

Jamestown Police Major Justin Blinsky reports that they were dispatched to the intersection of 6th Avenue NW and 5th St. NW for the report of an assault.

“The caller, who called 911, indicated he had been hit on the head with a blunt object and had serious injuries to his head,” Major Blinsky reports.

An ambulance was called to assess the 37 year-old male victim’s injuries, but he was immediately transported by personal vehicle to the Jamestown Regional Medical Center for medical attention.

During the investigation, police determined the assault happened inside a residence on the 600 block of 5th St. NW. Officers did not know if the suspect was inside.

“Officers tried to communicate with the male suspect, using various means of communication, but did not receive any responses. It was reported the male suspect had used a blunt object as a weapon to commit the assault and did have access to various other weapons inside the home.”

Police obtained a search warrant and found the suspect was not immediately inside. A tactical robot was deployed by the James Valley Special Operations Team to help safely search all areas of the home.

The suspect was located inside a bedroom at 9:18 PM and taken into custody without further incident.

39 year-old Jamal Anderson was arrested on suspicion of Aggravated Domestic Assault. Police were assisted by the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office and North Dakota Highway Patrol.
