An armed domestic violence suspect held Murfreesboro police at bay for more than three hours before surrendering.
Michael Thibodeau, 33, is charged with aggravated domestic assault. Police say that Thibodeau threatened a woman at a home on Sitting Bull Crossing. She managed to get away and call police. Police arrived around 12:30 but were unable to coax Thibodeau out of the home.
Murfreesboro Special Operations Unit negotiated with Thibodeau for three and a half hours before using rubber bullets and gas canisters to get him to surrender. Thibodeau was struck in the leg by a rubber bullet. No officers were injured.
The standoff caused some students from nearby schools to be late as school buses were not permitted into the area.
