(Pulaski County, IN) - Officers in Pulaski County used extra precaution and some advanced technology in a tense standoff last week.

According to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, on November 19th a serious domestic altercation took place somewhere in Pulsaski County. A woman involved fled to Knox, where she made a report. Citing a dangerous combination of violent threats, firearms, and alcohol, police quickly obtained a search warrant.

Six deputies gathered at the home. When no one responded from inside, officers donned protective gear and opened the front door. Using a drone, they were able to pinpoint the location of the suspect, 30-year-old Leonard Salyer, inside. A police K9 cornered Salyer, and officers apprehended him. Police say he continued to resist authorities as they took him into custody.

Salyer now faces charges of confinement, battery, intimidation with a deadly weapon, resisting law enforcement, along with a felony drug charge.
