A Seaside man allegedly held a knife in his hand as officers drew their guns during a brief standoff and scuffle Saturday.

Seaside police responded to the Salmonberry Knoll Apartments about 1:30 p.m. to a report of a man causing damage to his mother’s home. When they arrived, Justin Yawgel, 24, had left after allegedly causing more than $1,000 worth of damage to a kitchen drawer, phone, television, DVD player, picture frame and door frame.

Another officer found Yawgel minutes later on the 700 block of South Wahanna Road. He drew his gun and pointed it at Yawgel, who allegedly held a knife in his hand and took several steps toward the officer. When the other officers arrived, they convinced Yawgel to throw the knife into a swamp behind him.

Yawgel then allegedly refused police orders to get on the ground, and police used a stun gun to subdue him. Once Yawgel was on the ground, he allegedly began flailing and holding his arms tight to his body.

“Several focused blows to Justin’s body and head had to be applied before he would comply,” according to a court filing.

After eventually being taken into custody, Yawgel was provided medical treatment. He has been charged with unlawful use of a weapon, first-degree criminal mischief, resisting arrest, menacing and interfering with a police officer. Bail was set at $25,000 Monday, and he is scheduled for an arraignment hearing in May.

Yawgel was also arrested in February for allegedly assaulting his mother.
