A man arrested earlier this week following a brief standoff with Pike County Sheriff’s Deputies.

Sheriff James E. Nelson reports the Pike County Sheriff’s Office received a call for service on Tuesday, March 24th just before 1:00 p.m. from the area of Smith Road in reference to a male subject entering a residence occupied by an adult female and her children and locking them in the residence.
