Jamestown (CSi)  Jamestown Police reports a standoff that began shortly after 9-a.m., Tuesday in the 300 block of 3rd Street Northwest in Jamestown ended at about 2-p.m.

HaugenBrandon1Jamestown Police have arrested 31 year old Brandon Haugen.

Jamestown Police Chief Scott Edinger says Haugen was arrested on suspicion of Domestic Assault.

Edinger says the initial call indicated that Haugen may have wanted to hurt himself, and that Haugen may have had access to a weapon, which was not confirmed.

It was determined that Haugen was not in the house, that was surrounded by police and that the investigation led authorities to focus on an area, outside of city limits.

He says, where Haugen was arrested will be included when the police report is completed.

Edinger adds that as the investigation continued it was determined that there allegedly was a domestic assault in connection with the situation at the home.

He says there are also medical issues, along with criminal charges.

He says Haugen will  make a court appearance, after the charges are filed with the city prosecutor, possibly on Wednesday.

In court, the judge will make a determination on Haugen’s disposition.

Earlier, Tuesday morning police sealed off the area around the house, to traffic and pedestrians and suggested that the Anne Carlsen Center and the South Central Human Center go into a soft lockdown, which they did, in order to prevent loitering in their parking lots as people attempted to view the situation.

The lockdown was lifted at 2-p.m.

Those with appointments at the Human Service Center, during that time will be rescheduled.

Jamestown (CSi)  Jamestown Police was called to the 3rd Street Northwest in Jamestown in the 9-a.m. hour Tuesday.

An individual is in the home, threatening self-harm.

Authorities were talking to the individual in the house, through a bullhorn.

Those living in the immediate area, wanting to leave the blocked off section should call police for directions or for an escort.

Those outside the area may not be able to return to the area, until the situation is over.

As a precaution, lock-downs are in place for the duration of the incident, at the Anne Carlsen Center and the South Central Human Service Center, at the request of police which are close to the residence.
