Multiple charges have been filed against a Jamestown man involved in a five-hour-long standoff with police last Thursday.

Forty-one-year-old Kevin Garnica faces felony charges of terrorizing, felonious restraint and possession of drug paraphernalia… plus misdemeanor charges of preventing arrest and two drug-related crimes.

Jamestown police say Garnica barricaded himself in a Jamestown home after a woman fled from him on Aug. 4th.

Police say Garnica had a knife and a gun. Garnica was finally taken into custody after officers used tear gas.

According to police, Garnica had made threats in recent weeks to injure or kill law enforcement.

Garnica also had outstanding warrants in Pierce County.

His next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 7th in Stutsman County.
