Garden City man arrested after standoff
Garden City, Kan. (westernkansasnews.com)–A Garden City man was arrested after a two-and-a-half-hour standoff on Thursday.
Just after 1 pm, Garden City Police Department officers were dispatched to the City Administrative Center at 301 North 8th Street for a previous criminal threat. That’s when officers learned that 53-year-old Charles Holt of Garden City called city administrative staff and made threatening comments about having the power at his residence restored promptly.
Officers would respond to the 900 block of Theron Place to assist City Electric personnel while they replaced a meter and restored power to Holt’s residence. At the scene, Holt began yelling at Officers and City Electric personnel. When work was finished, Holt stood in the doorway with a firearm and motioned he was going to shoot Officers. Officers immediately took cover and Holt barricaded himself inside the residence.
