One man is in custody following a lengthy standoff last night with police in Terre Haute. 


Daniel A. Brown, 33, of Terre Haute, had active warrants for escape, possession of methamphetamine, resisting law enforcement and battery on a person less than 14- years -old. He was taken into custody just after midnight, nearly six hours after the Terre Haute Police Department Special Response Team was called to the scene.

The Special Response Team responded to the 2200 block of Sycamore Street after the suspect  barricaded himself in the house and reportedly made threats to shoot officers.

The situation began when THPD officers were attempting to execute the arrest warrant at the residence around 4 p.m. The SRT arrived around 6 p.m.

Negotiators were attempting to make contact with the suspect around 7 p.m.
