JamestownPolice2Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Nov 6, 2013) — No State charges will be filed against a 31-year-old Jamestown man who was arrested Sunday evening (Nov 2, 2013) at the University of Jamestown.

A student reported that he allegedly was carrying a gun, in Sorkness Center, on campus.

Paperwork in the case will be forwarded to Jamestown City Prosecutor Leo Ryan for his review. He may face a local charge of disturbing the peace.

Police say the man had no weapon on him when he was taken into custody.

There was not enough evidence to file a charge, no weapon was found, and the case would come down to his word against that of the victim.

Police Chief Scott Edinger says the man was intoxicated and was slurring his words when he spoke with a student in the Sorkness Center around 7 p.m. Sunday.

Edinger says the student said the man was hard to understand and that he mumbled something about having a gun, which prompted the student to contact campus security and call the Stutsman County Law Enforcement Center.

Edinger says after the man was taken into custody Sunday he claimed he never talked about a gun to the student.

UJ Dean of Students, Gary Van Zinderen says the man arrested is not a student at, the University, and has no affiliation with, the University.

Jamestown Police, along with members of the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office and the Special Operations Team, responded to the call at 7:17 p.m. Sunday. Edinger says law enforcement officers searched the Sorkness Center and adjacent buildings for the man, then found him walking across Allen Field.
