The St. Joseph Police Department has identified the man arrested on probation violation warrant Tuesday after a more than two hour long standoff.

33-year-old Jason Lee Roberts has been identified as the man taken into custody Tuesday night.  As we previously reported, authorities responded to Mary street near south 26th St. around 5 p.m. and said the suspect ran inside a home.  Capt. Jeff Wilson said threats indicated he would use a firearm against officers.

Roberts was taken into custody about two hours later and transported to Mosaic Life Care for what police described as treatment for a minor self-inflicted injury.

Wilson said as far as he’s been made aware no weapon was located.
