2 arrested following standoff at Black Hills horse barn
CUSTER, SD (KELO) — Authorities have arrested two Rapid City men following a weekend standoff at a horse barn in the southern Black Hills.
It started Saturday morning when witnesses reported two men burglarizing storage units south of Custer.
Custer County Search and Rescue used a drone to locate the men holed-up in a barn south of Pringle.
Law enforcement believed the two were armed with weapons stolen from one of the storage units.
Authorities say they tried for hours to talk the men into coming out, but there was no response. Then, the Special Response Team from Rapid City arrived with their armored Bearcat vehicle and the suspects surrendered.
Charges are pending against 50-year-old Jonathon Chamley and 47-year-old Gabriel Garcia. Investigators say both men have lengthy criminal records in Pennington and Meade counties.
