A 36-year old Nowata County man was recently arrested on multiple counts including burglary. Jesse Blanke was arrested for 1st Degree Burglary, Possession of Firearm while in Commission of a Felony, Resisting Arrest and other charges.
Blanke had been walking down a county road west of Nowata shooting a shotgun wearing only pajama bottoms when he then entered a residence with the shotgun, where a family with children were at home. A family member retrieved their own shotgun and confronted Blanke and the father disarmed Blanke who fled the scene. Blanke was found hiding in a ditch across the road and arrested after a brief struggle.
Blanke is in the Nowata County Jail on a $500,000 bond.
