A 37-year-old man from Missouri is facing a slew of charges after he allegedly got into a standoff with the police that involved children and firearms.
Early in the morning on February 6, officers with the Sikeston Department of Public Safety dispatched to an address in Sikeston after someone called in a report about an assault.
When they arrived, the deputies reported that two youngsters were outside the residence. A deputy spoke to them, and they reportedly said that the man in the home had a gun and that a sleeping child was also inside.
