JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown Police Department has arrested a man after a string of burglaries in the community.

Officers responded to the 700 block of 13 St. SE at around 2 AM Friday to investigate a possible burglary of a residence.

“This burglary was consistent with several other reported burglaries which have occurred at this same residence between July 10 and September 23,” Major Justin Blinsky reports. “A minimal amount of force was used by the suspect each time to gain access into the residence.”

During the months-long investigation, a possible suspect was identified in all the burglaries, but
had not been located to be interviewed. Evidence was located and collected after each burglary.

“After investigating the latest burglary, a search warrant for the suspect’s residence was applied for and granted, based on the evidence officers were able to obtain from all the burglaries,” Major Blinsky explained.

Just before 7 AM Friday morning, officers served the search warrant at 1313 11 St. SE. Several pieces of evidence were seized inside the suspect’s apartment and have been identified as property taken from the burglarized residence.

31 year-old Stanford Lamar Williams of Jamestown was arrested on suspicion and formally charged with 5 counts of B Felony Burglary and 2 counts of criminal mischief. He’s currently being held at the Stutsman County Correctional Center on $50,000 bond.

The incidents remain under investigation by the Jamestown Police Department.
