A 37-year-old Austin man accused in an 11-hour armed standoff with police on Dec. 10, 2016, in Lyle Township has pleaded not guilty to 14 felony counts for allegedly making harassing phone calls from the jail to someone with a no contact order.

Tyler John Hill appeared in Mower County District Court Monday on 14 felony counts of violating and order for protection. He had previously pleaded not guilty to 18 felony counts, four gross misdemeanor counts and one misdemeanor from four prior cases, including the standoff incident.

According to court records, Hill made 30 calls to the victim from the Mower County Jail from Dec. 29 to Jan. 3 — at least 23 were unanswered and messages were left on nine occasions. He also contacted another person 13 times asking the individual to contact the victim.

Many of the calls were threatening and abusive or asked the victim to dismiss the prior charges.

On Jan. 5, Hill pleaded not guilty in Mower County District Court to seven felonies pertaining to the Dec. 10 standoff: terroristic threats, a pattern of stalking conduct, aggravated stalking with a dangerous weapon, violating an order for protection, violating an order for protection with a dangerous weapon, violating a domestic abuse no contact order, violating a domestic abuse no contact order with a weapon; and three gross misdemeanors for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.

He also pleaded not guilty on Jan. 5 in three other Mower County cases where he’s facing 11 felonies, a gross misdemeanor and a misdemeanor in November and December incidents for violating no contact and protection orders, drug possession, stalking and fleeing a police officer, among other charges.

On Dec. 10, Hill barricaded himself in a Lyle Township home with a shotgun. He eventually surrendered to police.

David Michael Huff, 36, of Waseca is accused of trying to assist Hill during the ordeal and faces a felony count of aiding an offender and three gross misdemeanors for child endangerment.

Hill’s criminal history shows convictions for criminal vehicular homicide in 1999 and fifth-degree assault in 2007 in Mower County, along with fifth-degree assault in 2007 in Freeborn County. He was also out on pretrial release for felony charges for violating his restraining orders and felony drug possession in the three other Mower County cases.

He is scheduled for a pretrial on April 13 and jury trial on April 24.
