Gunshots, standoff, lead to arrest

(KAIR)--Gunshots led to a standoff in Holton, and then to one arrest.

Taken into custody Thursday was 31-year-old Holton resident Justin Lee Judy.

According to a news release from Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, Judy’s arrest followed multiple reports about gunshots fired in the area of 8th and Kansas avenue, around 6:00 Thursday evening, in Holton.

Sheriff’s Deputies, Holton Police Officers, and a Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper responded to the scene, located the residence where the gunfire originated, identified Judy, and unsuccessfully ordered him out of of the residence using a public address system. A telephone connection was then established with Judy, by the Sheriff’s Office, and he complied with the order to come outside, surrendering without further incident.

Booked into the Jackson County Jail, Judy faces charges for the unlawful discharge of a firearm.

A search warrant was executed at the residence Thursday night, and unspecified evidence was seized.

According to Morse, the investigation is continuing, and if anyone has related information, they are asked to notify the Sheriff’s Office or the Holton Police Department.
