SHAWNEE COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect after a 3-hour standoff at a home in Topeka.
Just after 5p.m. Monday, the United States Marshals Service responded to a residence in the 500 block of SE Lamar Street in Topeka on a report of a suspect with multiple felony warrants who they had been trying to locate, according to Topeka Lt. John Trimble.
After making multiple attempts to speak with the suspect identified as Logan Bartley, 21, Topeka, the suspect barricaded himself inside a home.
At the request of the US Marshals Service, the Topeka Police Department’s Crisis Negotiators and Response Team responded to the scene and made contact with Bartley.
After over 3 hours, negotiators were able to peacefully talk him out of the home. Officers then took Bartley into custody without incident at around 8:30 p.m.
Bartley was later arrested and booked into the Shawnee County Department of Corrections on requested charges of Aggravated Battery, Aggravated Assault, Felony Obstruction, Felon in Possession of a Firearm and 2 Felony Warrants, according to Trimble. He has a previous theft conviction from 2018, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
