Columbia County Man Accused Of Attacking Mother, Causing Saturday Standoff
A 36-year-old Columbia County man is accused of attacking his mother and causing a standoff with authorities Saturday afternoon. The incident happened at about 4:30 p-m in Marcellon. His brother says James Tiedeman tackled his mother to the floor and held her there. Then, he broke a picture frame and armed himself with a piece of glass, barricading himself in a room. Bean-bag rounds and a taser were ineffective and a deployed police dog wasn’t able to reach Tiedeman. Eventually, a deputy deployed two rounds of C-S gas through a window and the standoff ended after an hour. Tiedeman was checked out at a hospital and is currently being held in the Columbia County Jail on several charges, including domestic-related battery, strangulation, and disorderly conduct.
