Two individuals are in custody following an incident involving a barricaded subject inside a Sikeston home in Scott County, Missouri. On Wednesday, February 5, around 2:15 p.m., deputies and detectives from the Scott County Sheriff’s Office were actively searching for Aaron D. Brown, a Sikeston resident with an outstanding felony warrant.
The search led authorities to a vehicle parked in front of a residence in the 600 block of Greer Street in Sikeston. The sheriff’s office reported that Brown and another person were seated in the vehicle, apparently preparing to leave the area. When a deputy pulled up behind the vehicle and activated emergency lights, Brown exited the vehicle and fled into the home. The deputy pursued him inside.
Once inside the residence, Brown barricaded himself. A brief standoff ensued as law enforcement officers from the Scott County Sheriff’s Office and the Sikeston Department of Public Safety responded to the scene. Despite attempts to resist, Brown was eventually taken into custody. He was arrested on the active felony warrant, with additional charges expected.
The second individual in the vehicle was also detained by deputies and is pending formal charges related to the incident.
Both Brown and the other individual were transported to the Scott County Jail, where they were booked. The situation was resolved without further violence, and authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the standoff and the individuals involved.
