Man Surrenders After Knife Threat Standoff
22 Jun
Summary
- Suspect threatened residents with a knife and hatchet.
- SWAT and negotiators responded to the Lincoln Park Circle home.
- Suspect charged with domestic violence and menacing offenses.
A domestic violence incident in Springfield last week led to a significant police response, culminating in the arrest of 47-year-old Timothy Timmons.
On June 18, police were dispatched to a residence on Lincoln Park Circle following reports that Timmons was threatening individuals with a knife and a hatchet. Upon arrival, officers discovered that Timmons had barricaded himself within the home.
Crisis negotiators and the Springfield Police Division SWAT Team were deployed to the scene. After several hours, Timmons yielded to authorities and was taken into custody without any reported injuries.
He has since been charged with three counts of Domestic Violence, three counts of Aggravated Menacing, and one count of Obstructing Justice. Timmons was booked into the Clark County Jail, and the incident remains under investigation.
