A Successful End to a Smith County Standoff

BULLARD – A man has been arrested following a lengthy standoff in Bullard. Justin Wilson, 27, of Brownsboro, was taken into custody and two kids who were with him were removed from the house. It all started early Saturday at a house on Farm Road 344 near the intersection of U.S. Highway 69. A report of a domestic disturbance brought Bullard police to the house where Wilson was in an argument with his girlfriend. Authorities were able to remove the woman from the area as Wilson barricaded himself inside with his two young kids. The assistance of the sheriff’s department SWAT team was requested by Bullard police. After several hours of talking with Wilson authorities were able to remove the kids from the house. About 5 minutes later, around 11:30, Wilson surrendered. He is named in an outstanding felony arrest warrant out from Henderson County.
