(SPENCER CO.) – This morning at approximately 12:30 a.m. troopers from the Indiana State Police, Jasper Post, and the Spencer County Sheriff’s Department responded to a domestic dispute with shots fired on County Road 850 West in Rockport.
When troopers and sheriffs deputies arrived at the scene, they were able to determine that a male was inside of the home and that his wife had fled the home.
Officers immediately set up a perimeter and began negotiating with the male subject. The male was identified as 33-year-old Eric Hall, of Rockport. Hall had reportedly become agitated for unknown reasons and had fired a weapon.
Indiana State Police Hostage and Crisis Negotiators then made contact with Hall. After negotiating with Hall for several hours, Indiana State Police South SWAT team members made a forced entry into the residence at approximately 8:30 a.m. and placed Hall under arrest.
Hall was then transported to the Spencer County Jail on charges of criminal recklessness with a firearm and resisting arrest.
Assisting at the scene were Spencer County Sheriff’s Department and EMS.
