Update….Urie was released from custody on his own recognizance.
Jamestown (CSi) Charges are pending against a Minnesota man as Jamestown Police investigate a home invasion early Sunday morning.
Assistant Police Chief, Major Justin Blinsky reports, 20 year old Chase Michael Urie from Proctor, Minnesota, with a temporary Jamestown address, was seen inside the home on a home surveillance camera by the home owner, who was away, as the residence was occupied by other family members.
When the homeowner arrived at the residence, he discovered two broken door frames.
When police arrived at the home at 4:46-a.m., authorities saw Urie in the residence and failed to follow police commands to leave and retreated further into the home. James Valley Special Operations Team arrived also talking him, in an effort to leave the home. At the time, it was not known if the intruder was armed or what his intentions were.
Then, at 7:44 a.m. the Jamestown K-9 Unit “Odin,” assisted in the search of the residence.
At 8:01 a.m. he was taken into custody, and was remanded to the Stutsman County Correctional Center, awaiting formal charges.

Blinsky reports that there were no injuries, adding traffic was blocked off in a two-block radius of the house during the incident, for around an hour.
The homeowners are not being identified and have chosen to invoke their rights under Marsy’s Law.

At approximately 0446 hrs., Jamestown Police Officers arrived on scene. As they approached the house, they were met by a suspect still inside the residence.
