One arrested after Oskaloosa standoff

One man is in custody after a four hour long standoff Tuesday night (10/29) in Oskaloosa.  Law enforcement was trying to serve Marion County warrants to 60-year-old Danny Lee Shaffer at a residence in the 700 block of 3rd Avenue East around 6:40pm.  The warrants were for domestic abuse assault and harassment and violation of a no-contact order.  Officers from Oskaloosa Police and the Mahaska County and Marion County Sheriff’s Offices made verbal contact with Shaffer, but he refused to leave.  Officers got a search warrant and a negotiator from the Iowa State Patrol came in to help.  Shaffer finally surrendered around 10:40pm.  He’s being held without bond in the Marion County Jail.  The resident of the home was there during the standoff;  he was not hurt and was released without bond.
