Mount Olive, AL -
A standoff in Mount Olive ends without incident after a 74 year old barricaded himself in his apartment. It all began after a teenaged girl claimed he tried to assault her- and her brother stepped in to save her. The Jefferson County Sheriffs Office says the man did not want to be caught locking himself up inside his apartment in a barn on Mount Olive Road. Family members say the 17 year old regularly ran errands for the suspect and is in shock. Deputies busted the door down, and the man surrendered after two hours. No injuries are reported.
