Police arrested a man after an 11-hour standoff at a Thomaston residence Monday, The Courier Gazette reported.
Stephen James Little, 35, allegedly started the standoff at 352 Pleasant St. after police responded to a call that he had assaulted his sister and one other person at her residence early Monday morning, according to The Courier Gazette.
Little’s sister and the other person were reportedly escorted out of the house earlier in the day, leaving Little alone and refusing police commands to leave.
