SHAWNEE COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating two suspects on multiple allegations after a standoff.
On July 18, a deputy with the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office located a subject with an active felony standing in the driveway of a residence in the 2800 BLK SW Indian Hills Road, according to Shawnee County Sheriff' s Lt. Scott Wanamaker.
The deputy attempted to make contact with the subject, who immediately ran inside the residence. When deputies approached the residence, a second subject holding an AR-style rifle confronted them. When deputies confronted that subject, he refused to comply with any law enforcement commands and performed movements consistent with chambering around inside the firearm.
Deputies established a security perimeter and were able to communicate with all individuals inside the residence. After a 24-minute standoff, one subject exited the residence and was taken into custody. After an hour elapsed, the second subject, who confronted deputies with the firearm, exited the residence and was taken into custody. No shots were fired during the incident and no injuries were reported.
Nathaniel Javier Ayala-Hinkle, 26, of Topeka, was arrested and booked into the Shawnee County Department of Corrections on charges of Felony Interference with Law Enforcement, as well as two Shawnee County felony warrants, and a misdemeanor warrant from the City of Topeka,
