‘We will be cleaned out': Make sure you're ready for hurricane season
Once you hear a storm is coming, it's often too late to stock up on the materials needed to be prepared. 'Things fly off the shelves in a heartbeat, and no matter how many we stock up ahead of time, we will be cleaned out within a few days,' Doug Kreie of Hagan Ace Mandarin explained on Saturday. That's why it's best to plan ahead. The Atlantic Hurricane Season starts on June 1. >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< Kreie, the general manager of the Hagan Ace Hardware in Mandarin, outlined for Action News Jax the essentials needed for hurricane kits, as well as how much it'll cost to be ready in case of disaster. 'For your basic items, for flashlights, batteries, maybe a weather radio, toilet paper, water, those things can add up quickly,' Kreie highlighted. 'But about $100 to $200 should get most kits fulfilled.' Beyond those everyday household essentials, Kreie said one of the items needed for hurricane preparedness and that they typically see fly off the shelves first: gasoline cans. Kreie said those gasoline cans can go a long way in helping make sure you're not stuck waiting at the pump when it comes time to evacuate. 'Last year it was several hundred gas cans in just a few days [that we sold,] and we couldn't get 'em fast enough,' Kreie said. 'And we already had a good stock.' Maritzha Rivera-Clapp spoke to Action News Jax while shopping at the Ace on Saturday, and reminded us not to forget about those furry friends. 'You forget about the pets until the time comes,' River-Clapp explained. 'You need to make sure you have a plan for the pets, whether a shelter or a family friend that lives in a different part of town, prepare for your pets and have water and food for everybody in the house.'

Upon arrival, officers saw Lawson standing in the doorway of the home with a 10-inch filet knife, according to the post. Lawson then barricaded himself inside and a 90-minute standoff began. The post indicates that a 15-year-old was inside the home, but authorities were able to remove the child through a bedroom window. Lawson came out of the house multiple times but wouldn't surrender. A less-lethal shotgun with bean bag rounds was used, but Lawson ran back inside and locked the door, according to the post. As police started breaking down the front door, Lawson tried to run outside through the back door. Officers stopped Lawson at the back of the house and arrested him without further incident, the post said. Lawson was booked into the Mercer County Jail on domestic violence, assault, inducing panic, obstructing official business, and resisting arrest charges. At the time of this incident, Lawson was out on bond for a prior felony charge, the post said. Mercer County Court of Common Pleas records show that Lawson was on bond for a failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer charge. The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office is reviewing this case. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
