(JOHNSTON CITY, IL) — A 58-year-old man wanted for a domestic violence was involved in a standoff with police for several hours Thursday night at a home on Third Street in Johnston City. According to WSIL-TV, police went to the house around 4:30 to serve an arrest warrant on him. Police heard the man cock a gun and threatened to kill officers when they came in. He made the threat against the officers a few times. The man was accused of beating a woman and putting a pillow over her head the night before.
