A St. Joseph man has been charged after a more than two hour long standoff earlier this week.

Jason Roberts, 33 is charged in Buchanan County with a felony for resisting arrest.

According to court documents, on Monday around 4:30 p.m. Roberts is accused of resisting arrest by pulling his arm away from a police officer trying to detain him on a felony warrant.

“The suspect then entered a residence and locked the door not allowing officers to arrest him,” said Det. Greg Ogdahl. “The suspect told officers he wanted to ‘shoot it out.'”

Ogdahl said Roberts was finally able to be taken into custody after a door was forced open at the home located in the 2600 block of Mary St.

As we previously reported, police said Roberts was transported to Mosaic Life Care for treatment of minor self-inflicted non life-threatening injuries.

Roberts is being held on $10,000 bond.  An arraignment is set for Friday.
