A St. Joseph man has been charged with a weapons violation after a standoff at an apartment complex last week in midtown.

Kelvin Sibert Jr., 31 has been charged in Buchanan County with a felony of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Capt. Jeff Wilson with the St. Joseph Police Department said the charge is in connection with a nearly four hour-long standoff that took place Thursday at Oak Ridge Apartments.

As we previously reported, police said the incident started as a domestic disturbance call at 12:41 p.m. at the U.S. Oil gas station at 22nd and Messanie Streets. Capt. Wilson said an altercation between a man and his girlfriend was reported. The man allegedly held a handgun in a threatening manner and then fled the area. Police were on scene at Oak Ridge Apartments until Sibert surrendered peacefully and was taken into custody shortly before 5 p.m.

The court found Sibert to be a danger to the victim and denied the setting of bail based on a probable cause statement. An arraignment is set for Oct. 17.
