The man who was involved in a standoff with police Oct. 1 allegedly had consumed alcohol.

Quincy Akeem Jenkins, 27, of 212 S. Union St., Apt. C, Warsaw, was booked in the Kosciusko County Jail Oct. 1 after being taken into custody by Kosciusko County SWAT and faces charges for burglary, a Level 4 felony; theft, a Class A misdemeanor; criminal mischief, a Class A misdemeanor; and public nudity, a Class C misdemeanor.

According to the probable cause affidavit filed Tuesday in Kosciusko Superior Court I, on Oct. 1 a Kosciusko County Sheriff deputy responded to a report of a man breaking into a residence.

Upon arrival, the officer spoke with two men who said Jenkins had broken into the rear of a home nearby and had undressed while fleeing after attempting to get into various vehicles in the area. Jenkins allegedly broke a window and entered a home and was completely nude at that point. When SWAT operators were able to eventually get Jenkins to surrender by speaking to him through a SWAT robot speaker they put in the home, Jenkins was observed to be wearing pants that he had stolen from the home, and the home had been ransacked, according to court papers. A bed was damaged, a jar of coins was broken on the staircase and a bottle of wine, several bottles of beer and a half bottle of scotch had been consumed by Jenkins while in the home, according to the affidavit.

Total damage to the home was estimated to be $2,500. Jenkins was taken to a local hospital for treatment of injuries that were consistent with climbing through a broken window, according to the affidavit.

According to court records, Jenkins was convicted of burglary in 2012, battery in 2017, theft in 2016, conversion in 2015 and 2011, and was currently out on bond for an auto theft charge and had two active warrants for failing to appear in two separate cases.

Jenkins’ bond was set at $5,250.
