HOLDENVILLE, OK — A tense standoff that began late Tuesday afternoon in the 700 block of South Oak came to a peaceful end early Wednesday morning, as the suspect voluntarily surrendered to authorities without further incident.

The situation unfolded around 5:00 p.m., when law enforcement responded to the scene following reports of a barricaded individual. According to updates from Holdenville Briefs, officers from multiple agencies—including the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Lighthorse Police, Oklahoma Highway Patrol, and the Holdenville Police Department—responded immediately, urging the public to avoid the area for safety.

By 9:00 p.m., the standoff was still active, with tactical units from both OHP and MCN positioned around the residence. Despite efforts to resolve the situation, the suspect remained inside the home overnight, refusing commands to exit.

At 5:57 a.m., law enforcement confirmed the individual was still barricaded inside and noncompliant. By 7:10 a.m., a formal MCN warrant had been signed, escalating the situation. Fortunately, less than an hour later at 7:56 a.m., the suspect surrendered peacefully and was taken into custody by MCN Lighthorse Police.

Authorities have not yet released the suspect’s identity or details about potential charges. Further updates are expected as the investigation continues.
