Suspect identified in Holton standoff

(KNZA)--An all night stand-off, including shots fired at law enforcement on the scene, comes to an end in Holton, with two taken into custody early Monday morning.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse talked to MSC News' Brian Hagen regarding the case. The interview can be heard here.

Morse identifies the man accused of firing at law enforcement as 31-year-old Patrick Wayne Miller. He faces several charges of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, and remains in custody at the Jackson County Jail. 

After Miller was in custody, a search warrant was obtained for the residence where Morse says a large number of firearms were seized Monday.

The woman who was taken into custody prior to the standoff was released from custody Monday. Her name is not released. 

Morse says numerous rounds were allegedly fired by Miller. 

A Holton Police Officer exchanged gunfire at one point during the standoff and that, too, is being looked into as part of the overall investigation, overseen by the Sheriff's Office.
