A home invasion resulted in a standoff between an Alabama man and troopers in Ketchikan early Sunday morning.
At around 4:45 a.m., the Alaska State Troopers in Ketchikan responded to a report of a burglary and assault at a residence near Mile 6 of the South Tongass Highway, according to an online AST dispatch posted Sunday.
Richard Wilson, 32, broke into the unoccupied residence. While he was inside, the homeowner returned to the residence and came across Wilson, who had a firearm, troopers say.
Wilson, still armed, ordered the homeowner to leave the residence and then proceeded to barricade himself inside.
AST units secured a perimeter around the area. An AST crisis negotiator opened a line of communication with the suspect and was able to get him to leave the residence, where he was taken into custody.
Wilson was charged with two counts of first-degree burglary and one count of third-degree assault, troopers say. He was taken to the Ketchikan Correctional Center where bail was set at $10,000 with an approved third-party custodian.
