(KNOX/Valley News Live) – A juvenile was arrested in Jamestown when police say a man was assaulted and suffered facial fractures from a drug deal that went bad.

The victim told police the juvenile came to the residence to buy drugs. The juvenile pulled out a handgun after a dispute over the price, and put it to his head before a fight started.

The juvenile left the residence and returned about 40 minutes later. He is accused of breaking into the residence and kicking the victim in the head.

Jamestown Police officers identified the alleged suspect and located him at his residence in Jamestown. He was taken into custody on allegations of burglary, terrorizing and aggravated assault.

Officers also say they found a handgun that was disposed of in the James River. 

The suspect was taken to a juvenile detention facility and is being referred to Juvenile Court for review and consideration of formal delinquency proceedings.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Jamestown Police Department at 701-252-1000.
