After an approximately 4 hour telephone negotiation between Green County Sheriff's Office Detectives and Paul M. Anderson, Mr. Anderson surrendered to deputies at his York Township residence and is in transport to the Green County Jail to be booked on tentative charges of 1st Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, Intentionally Pointing a Firearm, Disorderly Conduct while Armed and Disorderly Conduct While Intoxicated.  Initial reports indicate that Anderson spent the night outdoors in the vicinity of his residence and showed no signs of injury. Green County Veterans Service personnel were instrumental in convincing Mr. Anderson to communicate with detectives.

While executing a search warrant at the residence early this morning and searching the exterior, a long gun and spent shell casing were collected outside.  Anderson was not armed when he was taken into custody and no additional firearms were located.

Although referenced earlier this morning, once again, York Township residents can and should resume normal activities as the suspect involved in this incident is now in custody.
