A Mountain Home man was arrested this morning after a four-hour standoff with police.
According to Mountain Home media outlet KTLO, Jonathan Cole Smith, 23, barricaded himself inside a residence after police responded to a 911 call made around 6 a.m. from the scene. The 911 caller and a juvenile were at the residence and fled for their safety.
Smith eventually surrendered to officers around 10:20 a.m., KTLO said.
Smith is facing charges of aggravated assault, terroristic threatening, endangering the welfare of a minor, as well as an absconded probation and parole warrant.
