DUDLEY — A 10-hour standoff with a suicidal man inside a Dudley home ended Wednesday afternoon when officers were able to safely disarm him.
The man, whose name is not being released at this time, was taken into custody at about 4:30 p.m. and is being held in the Stoddard County Jail on a bond revocation stemming on earlier charges, said Stoddard County Sheriff Carl Hefner.
“It could have ended very badly. Thank God it ended safely, and no one got hurt,” Hefner said.
