The St. Joseph Police Department has identified the St. Joseph man arrested on a warrant after an eight-hour long standoff overnight in midtown.

25-year-old David Worley was arrested on a felony warrant out of Platte County for Burglary.

According to the police a fire ended an armed standoff in midtown Saint Joseph Wednesday morning.  Police Sergeant James Langston said officers responded to a disturbance call shortly after 7 Tuesday night at 2402 Olive.  A man at that address barricaded himself in the basement and threatened the officers.  The Special Response Team was called out.

Sergeant Langston said the standoff continued until about 3:30 am when fire broke out at the residence.  Members of the SRT then took the suspect into custody.  No injuries were reported, but the suspect was taken to Mosaic Life Care to be looked at by a doctor.  He was then released back into police custody.

Capt. Jeff Wilson said charges are pending in the standoff investigation.  Worley remains in custody.
