(WNY News Now) – JAMESTOWN, N.Y. – A 38-year-old Jamestown man is facing multiple felony charges after police responded to a domestic dispute late Monday night on the city’s west side.
According to the Jamestown Police Department, officers from the third platoon were called to a west side residence at 11:47 p.m. on September 22, 2025. Investigators determined that the suspect, identified as Michael C. Hillman, unlawfully entered the victim’s home, where he allegedly choked the victim in violation of an active stay-away order of protection.
Police say Hillman was located a short time later and taken into custody without incident. He was transported to the Jamestown City Jail, where he is being held pending arraignment in Jamestown City Court.
