Updated: Jamestown (WDAY) A report on WDAY has updated the standoff and home invasion in Jamestown early Sunday morning.
Reporter Nick Broadway reported that several people in Jamestown say they didn’t notice a standoff because they slept through it. So did the suspect.
A man who lives there was inside, but family members next door were able to get him out.
When officers showed up, the suspect started barricading himself inside. Three intense hours went by and SWAT negotiators heard nothing from Chase Urie.
They then sent a robot inside to see if he was armed, however, Urie was having a long nap.
Jamestown Chief of Police Scott Edinger said, “That is probably why he was not talking.”
No weapons and not awake, SWAT officers decided it was safe to go inside and arrest him. Police say Urie was drunk, but because he was asleep for a while, they can’t accurately figure out how drunk he was.
They say Urie didn’t try to steal anything, but his break-in did cost $3,000 in damages.
The family invoked their Marsy’s Law rights and won’t be identified.
Forum News Service did talk to the victim’s mother off camera. She told Forum News Service they don’t know Urie or why he decided to break-in.
Neighbors told Forum News Service that they were either out of town, or they slept through it.
The report goes on to say, that Urie is a student at the University of Jamestown.
A Facebook profile with his name and hometown indicates Urie playing basketball with a Jamestown basketball jersey.
He is not on the Jimmies roster for this season, but he is on last season’s JV roster.
Forum News Service got criminal documents, and according to them, Chase Urie thought he was at a friend’s house.
The documents show officers interviewed Urie sometime after they arrested him.
Urie said he was out drinking with some friends when at some point, he got dropped off. It was below freezing.
He claims he went inside the house, thought it was his friend’s place, and went to sleep.
He apparently does not remember getting undressed or seeing police show up.
