Today at 2:19 p.m., deputies with the Marion County Sheriff's Office responded to a domestic disturbance in the 5900 block of Stayton Road SE. When deputies arrived and attempted to contact the involved parties an adult male at the residence brandished a knife and hatchet at the deputies. Deputies were able to back away and call for assistance.
Through their investigation deputies identified the man and found he has outstanding felony warrants for his arrest. SWAT is on scene and negotiators are attempting to de escalate the man who is highly agitated. The man is believed to be alone and the residences close to the house have either been evacuated or the residents are sheltering in place.
The road remains closed and will remain closed until the situation can be resolved.
