JACKSONVILLE � A Jacksonville man was arrested on Wednesday morning after an hour-long standoff with police. Detective Greg Compton with the Jacksonville Police Department tells KETK that authorities received word that Andres Saucedo, 22, was at a house on the 1000 block of San Marcos St. Saucedo was wanted for a parole warrant. Police tried to make contact with Saucedo at the house, but he refused to answer, according to authorities. Law officers say they determined that he was inside the house and had barricaded the front door, so they assembled the SWAT team and tried once again to contact Saucedo over the phone. Eventually, police say, Saucedo emerged from the house and was taken into custody without further incident.

The standoff began Just before 8:45 that morning and ended a little over an hour later. Further information on charges against Saucedo wasn�t immediately available.
