(KNZA)--A Holton man accused of shooting at law enforcement officers during an armed standoff early this month is facing attempted capital murder charges along with multiple other charges.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says 31-year-old Patrick Wayne Miller is being held in the Jackson County Jail on a one million dollar bond.
Morse says Miller faces three counts of attempted capital murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder.
In addition, he faces four counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, six counts of reckless endangerment along with one count each of aggravated assault, criminal threat, and unlawful discharge of a firearm.
Holton Police and the Jackson County Sheriff's Office responded late December 3rd to a report of domestic disturbance at 802 Ohio in Holton.
Miller allegedly fired multiple rounds at officers from the residence and struck a sheriff’s office vehicle. A Holton police officer returned gunfire, but no one was hit.
Authorities negotiated with Miller for about two hours before he peacefully surrendered.
A woman involved in the dispute was arrested and later released.
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the Holton officer who returned fire at the suspect.
Morse says the investigation is expected to be completed Thursday when it will be forwarded to the Jackson County Attorney’s Office for review.
