A Cherokee County man is in custody following a standoff with law enforcement.

Just after 2:00pm Friday, Cherokee County Sheriff's Deputies attempted to arrest 43-year-old Casey Robert Bronke at a residence in Baxter Springs on an outstanding warrant for unlawful distribution of a controlled substance. Bronke barricaded himself inside the home and threatened to shoot and kill law enforcement.

Additional units from the Baxter Springs Police Department and sheriff's office arrived and following the brief standoff, Bronke was taken into custody and several firearms were seized. In addition to the original drug distribution warrant, Bronke now faces charges of aggravated assault on law enforcement, criminal possession of a firearm and felony interference with law enforcement.
