ROGERS —A man was arrested Thursday after a warrant service turned into a standoff involving deputies.
A Benton County Sheriff’s Office deputy was serving a warrant on Mark Swieter, 53, in connection with domestic abuse in the third degree, false imprisonment and interference with an emergency communication, said Lt. Randy Allsup of the Sheriff’s Office.
Swieter ran inside the house at 9181 Stony Hollow Road, east of Rogers in the Monte Ne community, saying he wouldn’t come out alive, Allsup said.
The standoff lasted almost three hours. It ended just before 7 p.m. when the Special Weapons and Tactics team entered the house and found Swieter in a second-floor bedroom with a shotgun, Allsup said. There were no injuries.
Swieter’s wife obtained a protection order before the standoff, Allsup said.
