HUNTINGTON, Ind. (WANE) — A DeKalb County fugative is in custody after a five-hour armed standoff in Huntington early Tuesday.

WANE 15 received multiple reports Tuesday morning that numerous police squad cars had converged on a home in Huntington. Viewers told WANE 15 that the incident was centered around a home in the area of Canfield and Division streets, on Huntington’s north side.

An Indiana State Police spokesman told WANE 15 that around 7:30 a.m., officers went to a home on Canfield Street to serve a drug-related warrant to Justin Crager of Garrett. A woman answered the door and came out of the home, but Crager retreated back into the home, state police said.

Police believed he went to the second floor of the home, and was armed. At that point, the Fort Wayne Police Department’s SWAT team was called in to assist, state police said.

During the course of the standoff, two other people came out of the home, while Crager stayed inside, state police said.

Around 11:30 a.m., FWPD Hostage Negotiators were able to contact Crager and were able to come to a peaceful surrender around 12:30 p.m.

Onlookers cheered as the situation came to a conclusion.

As a result of the standoff, Crager was transported to the Huntington County Jail where he was arrested on charges of resisting law enforcement and possession of drug paraphernalia. At a later date, Crager will be transferred to the DeKalb County Jail where he will make an appearance on the six outstanding felony warrants that initiated the standoff.

Crager’s warrants each involve dealing methamphetamine or possession of it. The oldest warrant dates back to March 2017.

State police said in addition to the warrant, Crager could face additional charges related to the standoff. That will be decided by the county prosecutor’s office.
