MADISON, Ala. (WHNT) — Madison Police say a standoff Wednesday night led to one man being taken into custody.
Police said a man fired a shot into the air Wednesday evening, and then barricaded himself inside a home.
Officials told News 19 that the man, identified as 28-year-old Nicholas Olberding, committed two felonies, a misdemeanor, and has a protection of abuse order against him.
Police told News 19 just before 10 p.m. they would attempt to negotiate with Olberding, but were prepared to go inside. He was later taken into custody without incident.
Police said the incident happened in the 200 block of Harborview Drive in Madison. Madison Police Chief John Gandy was reported to be on the scene.
At 10:39 p.m. Wednesday, police said Harborview Drive was reopened.
Olberding was booked into the Madison County Jail and charged with violation of a domestic violence protection order, harassment, harassing communications, two counts of second-degree domestic violence, two counts of second-degree burglary, second-degree criminal trespass and reckless endangerment.
While some of the charges have a bond of a few hundred dollars, there is no bond for the violence charges.
