Shortcuts: Standoff on Lake Sequoyah Drive
KNWA is reporting that Matthew Lerch, 34, of Fayetteville, was arrested after firing a gun inside his home and then barricading himself inside the residence Monday morning.
Negotiators spent several hours trying to make contact with Lerch and eventually used “less lethal weapons” against him.
No one was injured and police told KNWA Lerch will face charges of aggravated assault and domestic battery.
