Authorities in Barron County say a welfare check late last week led to gunshots and a standoff.
55-year-old Thomas Levasseur of Woodville is being held in the county jail on a recommended charge of armed while intoxicated.
Teams from several agencies couldn’t get Levasseur to answer the phone, so an armored vehicle was used to make an approach.
Deputies say he eventually came out the front door with a gun in his hand.
After a brief negotiation, he put the gun down and was arrested.
