Pistol Whipping & Police Standoff
New Haven| A 37-year-old New Haven man is due in Superior Court today after a woman was pistol whipped and hospitalized Sunday morning. Prior to being taken into police custody for the assault, Jerryed Burgess remained inside an Anthony Street house as officers waited outside.
A police negotiator and SWAT team responded to the location on Anthony Street between Fountain Street and Plant Street in the Westville neighborhood. Following a half-hour of telephone negotiation, Burgess exited the house and surrendered.
The incident started hours earlier outside a residence in the Fair Haven neighborhood. Sunday morning around 2:00 a.m., investigators believe Burgess assaulted a 32-year-old New Haven woman by hitting her in the head and face with a handgun. The assault, also described as a pistol whipping, resulted in the woman seeking medical treatment at a hospital.
The domestic dispute investigation led officers to Anthony Street Sunday morning.
Following the detainment of Burgess, detectives obtained and served a search and seizure warrant at the Anthony Street house. Investigators released the scene Sunday evening. Officers transported Burgess to the NHPD Union Avenue Detention Center.
Jerryed Burgess is being held in lieu of $250,000 bail and is charged with the following:
- Criminal possession of a firearm
- Carrying a pistol without a permit
- Altering or removing serial numbers on a firearm
- Assault second degree
- Threatening first degree
- Breach of peace second degree
This morning, officers transferred Burgess to an arraignment hearing at Superior Court in New Haven
