PIEDMONT, S.D. (AP) - A man accused of firing a gun during a domestic violence incident was arrested after a long standoff at a mobile home park and campground in Meade County.
Sheriff’s deputies responded to the Sacora Station park and campground in Piedmont about 7 p.m. Thursday on a report of shots fired.
They encountered a man who retreated into a trailer home. Law enforcement evacuated the area, according to the Rapid City Journal.
The Meade County Sheriff’s Office requested help from the Rapid City-Pennington County SWAT team. The state Highway Patrol also responded.
Law enforcement blocked off the entrance to the property and attempted to communicate with the suspect over a loudspeaker.
After about three hours had passed, officers set off at least two flash bang grenades and the suspect surrendered a short time later.
No one was injured during the incident, authorities said.
The man is being held on possible charges of aggravated assault/domestic violence, according to Pennington County sheriff’s officials.
