In Ohio County, a tense standoff concluded without injury as 36-year-old Robert “Rex” Pentecost, wanted on multiple charges, barricaded himself inside his residence armed with several firearms. The situation began when authorities were alerted to gunfire aimed at a house on Deanfield Drive. Upon their arrival, Pentecost, who had existing warrants for his arrest, resisted and fortified himself within the home. Following an hour of negotiations, law enforcement successfully apprehended him. Pentecost now faces additional charges including endangerment and resisting arrest, and is currently held at the Ohio County Detention Center.
