Guysville man arrested following standoff

Athens County sheriff's deputies have arrested a 52-year-old Guysville man following a three-hour standoff at his home on Monday. Deputies say the unnamed man called a crisis center, said he had a weapon, and threatened to force authorities to kill him if they responded. Deputies say no firearms were found but the man was using a screw driver and railroad spikes as weapons. He is being evaluated.
