Standoff ends near Walhalla

A standoff between police and a man who barricaded himself inside his home near Walhalla ended when deputies entered the house and found the man unconscious. They applied the Narcan nasal spray and medical personnel sent the man to the hospital. According to the Oconee Sheriff’s Office, “Due to that fact, his name will not be released at this time until he is released and taken into custody to be served an arrest warrant….” Late yesterday morning deputies began investigating the report of a domestic disturbance involving a man and a woman at home on S. Abbott Road near the James Brown Elementary School. Out of precaution, the school was placed on a Code Yellow—a situation of a moderate danger.
