A Rose Lake man was arrested on Monday following a standoff with law enforcement.

 

The Osceola County Sheriff's Office says the suspect became violent with a homeowner after consuming alcohol with some friends. The suspect assaulted the homeowner and his wife during his outburst. He then acquired a handgun and fired one round inside the home.

 

The homeowners left the residence and went to the hospital for their injuries sustained during the altercation. The suspect barricaded himself inside the residence and would not communicate with deputies.

 

As deputies were executing a search warrant, the suspect fled the home on foot.

 

A drone team was able to track the suspect, they say the suspect became disoriented due to the cold.

 

Police located the Rose Lake man several hundred yards from the roadway and escorted to an awaiting ambulance.

 

The suspect was lodged at the Osceola County Jail for assault with a dangerous weapon, assault to do great bodily harm less than murder, felony firearm violation, and a probation violation.
