SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Sioux Falls police say a man who barricaded himself in a hotel with two hostages knew the victims.

The six-hour standoff ended peacefully with the arrest of the 34-year-old Sioux Falls man Friday night. Police say the two hostages are a 28-year-old woman and 5-year-old girl known to the suspect. They were not hurt during the standoff.

Authorities say the man earlier damaged displays at the Old Courthouse Museum, then threatened a woman before stealing her car in downtown Sioux Falls.



Officers tracked the man to the Dakotah Lodge. The man is being held in the Minnehaha County Jail.
