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]

RELATED STORY: Georgia Grown cucumbers not impacted by recent recall, GA agriculture department says Those recalled cucumbers should be no longer for sale.

Many people recover without seeking medical care and without being tested for Salmonella. Salmonella bacteria can make people sick with an illness called salmonellosis, the CDC said. The bacteria is a leading cause of food-borne illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths. People who are young, old or have weakened immune systems are particularly at risk for severe infections, health officials say. Talk to your physician if you have concerning symptoms, including diarrhea and/or vomiting that lasts longer than two days, blood in your stool or urine, a fever higher than 102 degrees and signs of dehydration.
