Authorities say a California man has been jailed on multiple charges, including attempted homicide, aggravated assault, simple assault and burglary, following a SWAT standoff Sunday afternoon. Washington County District Attorney Jason Walsh tells WJPA News that 32-year-old Donte Valentino was taken into custody, following a more than two hour standoff at an apartment in the six-hundred block of American Street. Police say Valentino went to the apartment of a neighbor, Thomas Debreucq and reached through his door, grabbed him by the collar and tried multiple times, to stab him with a butcher’s knife. There was no word on what injuries, if any, Debreucq suffered.
