When the man was told by the woman’s boyfriend that they didn’t know the individuals, 32-year-old Douglas Gunderson, of Mitchell, became violent, yelling and pushed his way into the apartment. Gunderson told the occupants he didn’t believe them and he was going to check other rooms in the apartment for the individuals.

The residents repeatedly asked Gunderson to leave but he refused. Several other residents in the apartment complex called police reporting a possible fight.

When police arrived, Gunderson continued to be disorderly and fight with officers.

He was arrested and charged with residential entry, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, resisting law enforcement and battery.
