Jamestown  (JPD)   Jamestown Police Chief Scott Edinger reports that on Weds Oct 23, at approximately 10:48-p.m., Jamestown Police officers responded to a domestic disturbance at 1600 11 Ave NE. The victim of the domestic reported that Shawn Teggatz, age 54 of Jamestown, was inside, possibly armed and had threated to harm the victim and himself. Teggatz also had a “No Bond warrant” for his arrest from Burleigh county. When officers attempted to contact Teggatz, he barricaded himself inside and refused to communicate.

Officers evacuated the building and continued to attempt contact over the next several hours. A search warrant was obtained and the James/Valley Special Operations team (J/V SOT) and Crisis Negotiations team (CNT) were called to the scene. After many more attempts to communicate with Teggatz, the J/V SOT forced contact through the exterior of the building. Teggatz resisted arrest, including an unsuccessful attempt to take him into custody using a taser. Officers physically restrained him and were able to take him into custody. Teggatz was examined at the scene by Jamestown Ambulance and later booked at the Stutsman County Correctional Center.

The Jamestown Police Department was assisted by the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office, Valley City Police Department, Barnes County Sheriff’s Department, James/Valley Crisis Negotiation Team, Jamestown Fire City Department and Jamestown Area Ambulance, during this incident. This incident remains under investigation. Several formal charges are pending review by the Stutsman County State’s Attorney, in addition to the Burleigh county warrants.

During the above incident, Jamestown Police officers also responded to a man with a gun call at the Jamestown Motel at 0247 on 10/24/2019. A male reported that three other men threatened him with a gun at his motel room. Officers responded to that scene and were unable to locate suspects. The incident is still under investigation.

Earlier Thursday about 3:45-a.m. the Jamestown City Fire Department was called to the National Guard shop on Highway 281 North, where a brake fire on a vehicle was reported.  Lt. Sheldon Mohr said, the fire was out on arrival.
