Court documents reveal new details about an officer-involved shooting in a Yankton High School parking lot on Thursday, Dec. 5.
Andrew Jondahl, a 40-year-old Watertown man, faces charges of aggravated assault against law enforcement and possession of a loaded firearm while intoxicated.
Police responded to reports of an intoxicated man threatening self-harm, finding Jondahl armed in his pickup during a wrestling event.
Despite verbal commands, Jondahl exited the vehicle with guns, prompting officers to shoot, injuring him non-fatally.
Authorities found weapons, ammunition, and notes referencing self-harm and threats to police in his vehicle.
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley commended the officers’ adherence to use-of-force protocols.
