MASHFORK, Ky. (WMDJ) — One man was taken into custody after an hours-long barricade situation Monday in the Mashfork community of Magoffin County.

According to the Magoffin County Sheriff’s Department, deputies were called to a home on Donnie Barnett Road after reports that a man, identified as Jamie Arnett, had entered the residence, threatened a woman, and was armed with a firearm. Deputies say Arnett later barricaded himself inside a bedroom and made threats of self-harm.

As the situation developed, deputies worked to de-escalate the incident while also alerting nearby residents and motorists to use caution due to an increased law enforcement presence. Authorities later clarified that, despite online rumors, the incident was not a hostage situation.

The standoff continued for several hours, with investigators reporting that the Arnett made additional threats toward responding officers. Due to his refusal to cooperate, the Kentucky State Police Special Response Team was requested to assist.

Just after midnight Tuesday, the man surrendered and exited the home without further incident. No injuries were reported.

Arnett was charged with burglary and lodged in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center.
