Armed standoff ends with arrest

(KNZA)-- Delia woman is jailed in Jackson County, arrested following an armed standoff.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says the standoff happened Tuesday afternoon, northeast of Delia, when his office was notified that a woman had pulled a shotgun on her boyfriend.

Deputies responded to 3621 182nd Road, where a man, apparently the one allegedly threatened, had, along with a child, escaped unharmed.

Morse says the woman, identified as 27-year-old Audrey Dawn Smith, remained inside the residence for over an hour.

Negotiations were initiated, and ultimately led to her surrender, and arrest.

Morse says Smith faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, domestic battery, and criminal damage to property.

Following her arrest, Smith was booked into the Jackson County Jail.

Morse says the Kansas Highway Patrol, Jackson County EMS, and fire departments from Delia, Mayetta, and the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation all assisted at the scene.
