JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown Police Department is involved in an ongoing investigation regarding an early Monday morning home invasion.

Major Justin Blinsky reports that just after 4 AM May 23rd, police received a report of a man trying to break into a Northland Estates residence in Northeast Jamestown.

“The caller described the man as carrying a shovel,” Major Blinsky reports. “Officers responded and attempted to locate the male in the area.”

Minutes later, officers were dispatched to another residence just south of Northland Estates when a frantic 911 homeowner reported a male had forcefully broken into their residence. The homeowner knew the male, who accosted and pushed the homeowner to the ground.

Officers attempted to investigate when the suspect fled into a bedroom within the same home, barricading himself inside. Officers negotiated with the male for approximately 90 minutes to get him to peacefully surrender.

Just before 6 AM, police used breaching equipment to safely enter the bedroom. The man was removed and transported by Jamestown Area Ambulance to the Jamestown Regional Medical Center for medical treatment and psychological evaluation.

A shovel was seized from the residence and the incident remains under investigation.

Reports will be forwarded to the Stutsman County State’s Attorney’s Office to pursue multiple formal charges related to the incident.
