JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) - Authorities say a standoff in Jamestown that lasted nearly eight hours started out as a domestic incident.
Police Chief Scoo Edinger tells KFGO-AM (https://bit.ly/2iB0OJm ) that officers were called to a trailer court about 8 p.m. Monday on a report that a woman had been assaulted by her boyfriend. The woman left the home but the man, who was believed to be armed, barricaded himself inside.?
Edinger says attempts to talk the man out failed, so a SWAT team used tear gas to force the man out around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.
He was arrested on suspicion of domestic assault and terrorizing.
