Arrest made in February 24 standoff

Oconee sheriff’s officers have identified the man who was the subject of a February 24 standoff at a home near Walhalla on the S. Abbott Road. The sheriff’s office last night announced the arrest of Thomas Gregory Lockridge Jr. on charges of domestic violence third degree—assault on a female. Thirty-three year old Lockridge was also served with a probation violation and two General Sessions Court bench warrants. Late in the morning one week ago officers discovered Lockridge barricaded inside the home. Hours after communications were made, officers got into the home and found their suspect unconscious. The nasal spray Narcan was administered before Lockridge was taken to the hospital. He was jailed Friday evening.
