BLACK CREEK - A standoff that lasted for about eight hours began when a son threatened his father with a gun, prompting what police described as a "wrestling match" over the weapon.

Officers were sent to a home at 307 S. Main St. at about 4 p.m. after a report of a disturbance, the Outagamie County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Friday morning.

When officers arrived, the son, a 26-year-old, was standing in the driveway and threatened the officers, indicating he had a gun in his waistband, the news release said. The son retreated inside the house, which prompted officers to surround the residence.

The man's father had managed to leave the house, which meant the son was alone inside. The county's emergency response team responded to the scene and tried for hours to negotiate with the suspect.

The emergency response team entered the home shortly before midnight and arrested the man without incident. A Post-Crescent photographer at the scene said officers used a truck to breach the front door while team members entered from a back door. They later came out the front of the home with a man in custody.

The sheriff's office didn't immediately release the identity of the suspect, but a man named Wayne Douglas Figlinski, 26, was booked into Outagamie County jail Friday morning after being arrested in Black Creek on preliminary charges of disorderly conduct, misdemeanor battery, threatening an officer and strangulation, according to jail records.

Main Street in Black Creek was opened shortly after 1 a.m. The incident is still under investigation, police said.
