Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Police Department on Thursday evening about 10:50 p.m. was called to 113 Second Avenue Southwest.

The Shift Commander, Lt. Justin Blinsky says two Jamestown men age 18- and 20 accessed the rooftop of the building by a back staircase, later telling police they were going to take photographs.

A 56 year old male occupant of the second floor apartment confronted the two men threatening them with harm, brandishing a weapon.

The suspect allowed them to leave  and they called police.  Police then executed a search warrant for the apartment and found weapons, one of which was the weapon the man brandished, along with a quantity of drugs. Lt. Blinsky says the suspect offered no resistance when taken into custody.

The suspected was arrested on charges of terrorism, felonious restraint, and he faces a drug charge.

Police cleared the scene about 9:30 a.m. Friday.

Lt. Blinsky says the incident in no way involved the business on the street level of the building.

He said the Stutsman County State’s Attorney is putting together the police information, to draw up formal charges.

He adds that the police investigation is continuing.
