Deputies: Man barricades himself in home, points weapon at officers

Posted: Updated:

HOLLY HILL, SC (WIS) - After more than seven hours, Orangeburg County deputies arrested a man involved in a standoff.

Officials tell us it happened at home in the Holly Hill area. It started about 4pm on Sunday.

They say Johnny Capers barricaded himself in his home and pointed a weapon at them. 

It's not clear at this point what started the stand-off or exactly how it  ended. 

We do know that  deputies used tear gas to try and get Capers to come out. Luckily, no one was injured. 

We're working on finding out more information and we'll pass that on to you once we find out more.
