Man with shotgun arrested after standoff in Bartholomew County

Columbus, Indiana, man arrested after standoff with police

COLUMBUS, Ind. (WISH) — A man in Bartholomew County was under arrest after engaging in a standoff with sheriff’s deputies on Saturday, the sheriff’s office said in a news release issued Monday.

They say he was armed with a shotgun. The sheriff’s office received calls about 5:30 p.m. Saturday from the East 8900 block of State Road 58, which is near the intersection with West County Road 550 South. That’s southeast of the city of Columbus and about a 50-minute drive south of Indianapolis.

Deputies say they saw Derick Krebbs, 34, stumbling in public with a shotgun. He refused to put it down, but eventually did and was put into handcuffs. Deputies say his blood alcohol count was nearly twice Indiana’s threshold of 0.08.
