(KNSI) – An hours-long standoff between a domestic assault suspect and the Wright County SWAT team is over.
The Wright County Sheriff’s Office said the 35-year-old suspect had been in his van holding police at bay since about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Everything started just after 8:00 Monday night when a woman called 911 to say her husband had assaulted her and fled from their Albertville home. Police say the man returned about 12:20 a.m. and reportedly had a handgun with him but again left the home before police arrived. A deputy spotted his vehicle and attempted to pull him over, but the man refused, leading police on a chase that ended near Eastview Elementary School in Monticello, canceling classes for the day at that school and the area around it to go into lockdown.
