(KNZA)--A rural Horton man, accused of shooting at law enforcement officers during a 10-hour standoff last November on the Kickapoo Reservation, waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday.

54-year-old Anthony Walker was bound over to Brown County District Court on eleven felony counts---including seven counts of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer along with one count each of aggravated assault, kidnapping, criminal threat and criminal discharge of firearm. In addition, Walker faces a misdemeanor count of domestic battery.

Arraignment was scheduled for the morning of March 25.

The stand-off began the evening of November 27 after Kickapoo Tribal Police were called to residence in the 12-hundred block of Fern Road for a domestic disturbance.

Multiple agencies responded after Walker, allegedly armed with AK-47, began shooting at officers.

Walker surrendered peacefully the following morning after a tactical team from the Kansas Highway Patrol entered the home.

A woman, allegedly being held in the home, was able to escape without injury and no officers were hurt.

Walker remains in the Brown County Jail, held on a $500,000 bond.
