Hourslong standoff with axe-wielding man in St. Joseph ends in arrest, police say
Police in St. Joseph, Minnesota, say a man is in custody Thursday morning following an hourslong standoff north of the College of St. Benedict.
SWAT team members were called to the scene near the 400 block of First Avenue Northeast after police say a man "forced his way into a residence with an axe and committed an assault" Wednesday in neighboring St. Joseph Township.
Police say the man also "threatened officers" with the axe before he was taken into custody Thursday around 6:30 a.m.
