Man arrested for felonious assault in Iron River Township

IRON RIVER TOWNSHIP, MI--   An Iron County man is in police custody, following a domestic dispute and standoff in Iron River Township. 

The Iron County Sheriff’s Office was called to the home Sunday around 4:20 p.m. on a report that a disorderly subject was fighting with family members.  Deputies say the incident escalated when the man obtained a long arm and fired two shots.  The subject then barricaded himself in a relative’s house, but after a brief standoff surrendered to police. 

The suspect will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm under the influence of alcohol. 

Officials are not saying if anyone was injured in the incident.
