MONTGOMERY COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating two suspects who were captured after a SWAT team standoff in Kansas.
Just after 10p.m. December 11, Sheriff's Deputies received an anonymous tip, that two wanted suspects identified as 41-year-old Theodeous Armstrong and 46-year-old William Little were at a residence at 224 S. 15th Independence, Kansas, according to Sheriff Ron Wade.
Theodeous Armstrong had four outstanding warrants, three for contempt of court and one for aggravated escape from custody. William Little had five outstanding warrants, four for failure to appear.
Deputies were successful in confirming both subjects were inside the residence, however they refused to exit the residence. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Team was activated, and Coffeyville Police Department’s SWAT team was requested.
The Independence Police Department and Independence Emergency services responded by providing additional support. Deputies continuously gave announcements using a loudspeaker, requesting both subjects to exit the residence peacefully, eventually gaining compliance from both men. Theodeous and William were taken into custody and transported to the Montgomery County Jail without incident. Armstrong remains in custody on the warrants and for the aggravated escape from custody. Little is no longer in custody.
