Warrants were filed Monday for the arrest of 49-year-old Kevin Hohman. He faces charges of inducing panic and attempt to commit arson in connection with a Saturday standoff.

PERRY TWP. Police have filed charges against a Perry man involved in a standoff with officers over the weekend.

Kevin. S. Hohman, 49, of 2916 12th St. NW, faces charges of inducing panic and attempt to commit arson after a standoff with police Saturday afternoon. A warrant was issued for his arrest on Monday, according to court documents.

The standoff started after police went to Hohman’s house for a welfare check at 3:37 p.m. Saturday. According to court documents, Hohman told family members he was suicidal and he had access to multiple firearms, which prompted family to call police.

According to records, Hohman is accused of causing alarm after he advised officers he ruptured a gas line and mixed chlorine and ammonia inside his residence to make a bomb.

Dominion East Ohio and Ohio Edison cut the natural gas and electric to the home as a precaution.

The Stark County Sheriff’s Office, Canton Regional SWAT Team, Stark Parks, Perry Township Fire Department and EMS, the Regional Emergency Dispatch Center and StarCom assisted Perry police.

Several firearms were found inside the residence and seized, according to a police report.

Before the standoff, Hohman was charged with operating a vehicle while under the influence at 1:13 a.m. at 12th Street NW and Genoa Avenue NW. He was also charged with driving an unsafe vehicle, according to a police report.

A passerby reporter Hohman for driving erratically, the report said.

The standoff ended around 7 p.m. after police put canisters of a chemical irritant gas in the house, Chief Mike Pomesky had said.

Hohman had been taken to Aultman Hospital with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Phone messages left with Pomesky were not immediately returned Wednesday.
