When law enforcement officers arrived at a residence near Owensville Wednesday afternoon to arrest 30-year-old Aaron Riggs, Riggs barricaded himself on the second story of the residence.
Officers attempted several times to get Riggs to surrender, but he refused, according to Indiana State Police.
At approximately 7:15 a.m. Thursday, Indiana State Police SWAT entered the residence and eventually found Riggs hiding in a crawl space in the attic.
Riggs was arrested without further incident and taken to the Gibson County Jail where he is currently being held on a $500,000 cash only bond.
U.S. Marshals, Gibson County Sheriff’s Department, Owensville Police Department, Fort Branch Police and Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Department assisted at the scene.
