JACKSON, MI – A domestic dispute Wednesday afternoon in Jackson escalated into a four-hour standoff with police and ended with the barricaded man surrendering peacefully, police said.

Officers were called at about 1 p.m. April 22 to a domestic assault at a home in the 500 block of Steward Avenue, Jackson Police and Fire Services Director Elmer Hitt said.

The victim called 911 stating she had been physical assaulted by her boyfriend, a 62-year-old man, who also pointed a long gun at her during the incident, Hitt said.

The man was alone and still inside the home when police arrived at the scene, Hitt said.

Negotiators were able to contact the man by telephone, speaking with him for four hours until he ultimately exited the home and surrendered to police who had surrounded the home, Hitt said.

The man was arrested and officers seized two shotguns from the residence, Hitt said. He was taken to the Jackson County Jail to await charges for domestic violence and felonious assault, Hitt said.
