NLR Standoff Ends Peacefully
North Little Rock Police and SWAT team end a standoff peacefully last night.
Just after 8:30 Monday family members called police to 2204 Ozark for a domestic disturbance.
There they found Allen Witcher, 33, inside the house armed with a shotgun. Authorities say Witcher was making threats to family.
After almost three hours negotiators were able to get Witcher from the house without any injuries, he is now charged with aggravated assault.
North Little Rock Police say Witcher has a history of domestic violence having been previously charged on three separate occasions.
