BARTON COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating a suspect on multiple allegations after a standoff in Great Bend.
Just before 11 a.m. Tuesday, police were dispatched to a residence located at 217 Pine Street in Great Bend in reference to a domestic disturbance, according to a media release.
Officers were advised that the suspect 34-year-old Robert C. Amador was damaging property inside the residence and making threats to harm others with a homemade hatchet.
Upon officers’ arrival they were able to safely get two other occupants of the home out safely. Robert Amador barricaded himself inside the residence and refused to come out. Officers tried talking Amador out of the residence for approximately an hour and fifteen minutes and were unable to get him to cooperate.
Officers used the department drone to help locate Amador in the residence, then using a distraction on the opposite side of the residence, officers made entry into the residence and took Amador into custody. Amador was transported to the Barton County Detention Center where he was booked on requested charges of Aggravated Assault Domestic Violence and Felony Obstruction.
