(KAIR)--A near 3 ½ hour standoff Friday in Platte City, Missouri, leads to one arrest.

According to a news release from the Platte County Sheriff’s Office, 29-year-old Sanquan Brooks was arrested without injury.

The standoff began with a vehicle pursuit from Leavenworth into Platte City around 9:30 Friday morning.

The release says Brooks abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot into an apartment located in the 100 block of O’Rourke, in Platte City.

He was wanted on an outstanding parole warrant.

Once the standoff ended, through a joint effort of the Platte County SWAT Team and the Platte County Crisis Negotiations Team, Brooks was booked into the Platte County Jail.

The Platte County Sheriff’s Office is crediting the Leavenworth Police Department, the Platte City Police Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Northland Regional Ambulance District, the Central Platte Fire Protection District and Taking It to the Streets for their assistance with the case.
