Man Armed With Scissors Taken Into Custody

Authorities reported using a stun gun to apprehend a Dubuque man armed with scissors barricaded in a bathroom Monday. 36 year old Damien Hunt was arrested at a residence in Jackson County near Zwingle on a warrant charging violation of parole. A report said law enforcement was called at about 9:30 a.m. Monday by Hunt’s mother, Selina Marshall, that he was having an episode at her residence. The report said law enforcement were aware of a warrant for Hunt’s arrest and that Jackson County Sheriff Russ Kettmann and Chief Deputy Steve Schroeder were accompanied by members of the Dubuque County Sheriff’s Department because Hunt has a history of violence.
