A man in Yorkville is charged with four felonies, including intimidation and aggravated battery to a police officer, following a several-hour standoff in which the suspect, armed with a knife, was allegedly threatening to harm anyone who came near.

Jamar E. Clinton, 22, of Oswego, is charged with two felony counts of intimidation, a criminal damage to property felony, and an aggravated battery to a police officer felony.

He also is charged with two misdemeanor counts for aggravated assault and a regular assault misdemeanor.

A 911 call was first received about 11:03 a.m. Nov. 2 from an individual later identified as Jamar E. Clinton, according to a news release by the Yorkville Police Department.

“During the initial call Clinton was uncooperative with responding officers,” police said in the release.

“It was later determined that a verbal dispute between Clinton and his mother had prompted the initial call for service,” according to the release.

Clinton made multiple additional calls to emergency services, but “remained uncooperative with both takers and responding officers,” police said.

The police were dispatched about 2:40 p.m. following reports that Clinton had allegedly threatened a delivery driver with a knife. “Clinton then began making threats to harm any responders who approached the residence,” police said in the release.

A several-hour standoff ensued after the police established a perimeter around the home and initiated contact with Clinton, police said.

Throughout the standoff, “Clinton repeatedly entered and exited the residence while armed with a knife, threatening to harm anyone who came near,” police said in the release.

“During this time, he also caused damage to a nearby resident’s vehicle and continued to refuse cooperation with negotiators to surrender himself peacefully,” according to the release.

With the assistance of the Kendall County Special Response Team, Clinton was taken into custody “following a brief struggle” about 6:36 p.m, according to the release.

Clinton was transported to the Kendall County Jail. The investigation remains ongoing and police said additional charges may be filed. Clinton remains in custody pending a court appearance on Nov. 3, according to the release.

The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office also assisted with the investigation.
