Denison Man Faces Multiple Felony Charges After Shooting at Officers and Threatening Violence

Denison Man Faces Multiple Felony Charges After Shooting at Officers and Threatening Violence

A 53-year-old Denison man is facing a series of felony charges after a violent confrontation with law enforcement on January 5. Tyson Patrick Campbell allegedly attempted to force his way into a vehicle with a woman and her children inside in the 200 block of South 15th Street. When the driver fled, Campbell reportedly threw a log at the vehicle, causing damage.

Soon after, Campbell made a disturbing phone call to the Crawford County Jail, claiming he had a grenade and threatened to use it against officers. When law enforcement arrived at his residence, Campbell became combative, vowing to use a shotgun to harm the officers.

The situation escalated when Denison City Police observed Campbell reaching for a rifle and firing at them. Officers managed to detain him, and Campbell is now being held at the Crawford County Jail on a $100,000 cash-only bond.

Campbell faces multiple charges, including four counts of assault on persons in certain occupations, second-degree attempted burglary, interference with official acts with a dangerous weapon, and threat of terrorism—all class D felonies. He also faces a serious misdemeanor charge for second-degree harassment. Additionally, Campbell is still dealing with a previous charge of going armed with intent from an October 2024 incident. If convicted on all counts, he could face up to 41 years in prison and a fine of up to $84,610.
