Standoff in North Fayette area overMon, 02/05/2007 - 3:48pm
By: John Munford
The standoff between a North Fayette man and Fayette County sheriff's deputies ended shortly after it began Monday afternoon. The deputies came to the house at 340 Bentley Way investigating a report of shots fired after 2 p.m., and the sheriff's SWAT team circled the perimeter of the house. Initially there was difficulty communicating with the man, and a negotiator spoke using a PA system. The standoff ended at approximately 3:45 p.m. as the man peacefully exited the home seconds after his father approached the home. No crime was committed, but the unidentified man was "disturbed" according to sheriff's spokesperson Lt. Belinda McCastle. login to post comments |
