NAPOLEON, N.D. (AP) - A man has surrendered to police after a nearly eight-hour standoff in Napoleon.

Authorities got a call around 6 a.m. Saturday that a 54-year-old man was threatening suicide. When officers arrived they found the man had barricaded himself inside his home and was threatening police.

Logan County Emergency Manager Daniel Schwartz tells KQDJ Radio the man had a gun. No one else was believed to be in the home.



A Bismarck SWAT team arrived and brought in crisis negotiators. A two-block perimeter was established.

The man surrendered to police at 2:30 p.m. He is in custody on suspicion of terrorizing.
