PEORIA COUNTY, Ill. (25 News) – Peoria County Sheriff Chris Watkins says a daylong standoff at a Princeville home on Sunday came to an end with a man’s arrest.
Watkins tells 25 News that an armed suspect refused to come out of the home, just off Illinois Rt. 90 in Princeville, in what the sheriff called a “domestic situation.”
The Central Illinois Emergency Response Team was called to help sheriff’s deputies take the man into custody.
Watkins says the standoff lasted “all day” and the man was in custody by about 4 p.m.
The sheriff expects to release more details on Monday.
