Other Stories Standoff with former Ravenna Police Chief ends after two days Thursday, December 4, 2008
UPDATE: The standoff with former Ravenna Police Chief Michael Swartout came to an end just after noon today. Swartout surrendered peacefully and sheriff deputies escorted him into the back of a police vehicle around 12:30 p.m. The standoff began about 1 a.m. Wednesday when deputies tried to serve Swartout with a warrant for felonious assault. That stemmed from an incident Tuesday night in which Swartout shot at his son.
Portage County deputies continue in a standoff with former Ravenna Police Chief Michael Swartout. The trouble began Tuesday night after Swartout allegedly shot at his son and missed. The bullet hit the son's car.
Deputies have an arrest warrant for Swartout accusing him of felonious assault, but haven't been able to serve it.
Portage County Sheriff Duane Kaley says Swartout has at least implied there will be trouble if deputies try to enter his house southeast of Kent.
No one but Swarout is believed to be in the house. Deputies believe he has a number of weapons with him. He lost his job as police chief 10 years ago when he was accused of firing a weapon while intoxicated.Heidi Weber reports:(Click image for larger view.)
