-Two people were arrested after a standoff in the Town of Alma in Jackson County.According to authorities, they executed a search warrant at a home and were searching an outbuilding when 44-year-old Juan Aguilar pointed a rifle out a window of the home. Deputies started negotiating with Aguilar, but he refused to come out. After an hour of negotiation, Aguilar did come out of the home, but was holding a small child and using the child as shield against the deputies. He challenged the deputies and even charged them while holding the child. However, after further negotiation, they did convince Aguilar to surrender.
Authorities found a stolen vehicle, several firearms and drug paraphernalia on the property and in the home. Aguilar and a woman, Jolene Gadbois, were arrested and booked into the Jackson County Jail.
