Charges may be pending against an individual who held Pierre Police officers at bay for about an hour yesterday (June 8, 2022).
Captain Bryan Walz says officers responded to a 911 call in the 200 block of South Jefferson where a person had called for assistance with an unknown problem. When officers arrived, they were met by a person exiting the residence. The person reported another individual was inside the home, armed with a gun.
Officers quickly set up a perimeter and attempted to negotiate with the person inside. Negotiations had been going for just over an hour, when the person exited the residence peacefully and was taken into custody. The incident is being handled as a mental health issue.
