Chillicothe Standoff Ends Peacefully

Chillicothe Police

Five people are behind bars after holding police at-bay inside of a Chillicothe home yesterday.  Police say 30-year-old Marcus Horsely refused to surrender to officers serving an arrest warrant at a home on Eastern Avenue.  The standoff went on for several hours before tear gas was used to drive Horsely and four other people from the home. Horsely and two men were arrested on outstanding warrants and two others were arrested for obstructing justice. The four other suspects are identified as 30-year-old September Hertenstein, 28-year-old Dustin Welch, 31-year-old Ervin Himelrick III and 30-year-old Sandra Horsely.
