March 22, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

A 26-year-old man was remanded in custody when he appeared in Murgon Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning facing charges related to Monday’s siege in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Damian James Jurgensen\u00a0was charged with serious assault of a police officer, wilful damage, common assault, possession of a dangerous drug and a drug utensil, and four counts of contravening a domestic violence order.<\/p>\n

Police went to a house in\u00a0Doonkuna Street about 6:00am on Monday to locate Jurgensen in relation to a return to prison warrant and other matters.<\/p>\n

They will allege that when they attempted to arrest him, he barricaded himself inside a bedroom and armed himself with multiple weapons.<\/p>\n

Police invoked an emergency declaration under the Public Safety Preservation Act at 8:40am and\u00a0maintained a cordon around the property for several hours.<\/p>\n

Police negotiators and specialist police were deployed.<\/p>\n

About 3:30pm, Jurgensen surrendered to police without incident and the emergency declaration was revoked.<\/p>\n

Jurgensen was remanded to appear in Kingaroy Magistrates Court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
