An hours-long standoff in Martin County ends with the arrest of a man who had barricaded himself inside a guest house. <\/p>\n

Deputies had responded to the home on Bessey Creek Trail in Palm City on Saturday for a domestic incident call, leading to a tense afternoon with hostage negotiators trying to talk to 38-year-old Darrel Abbey and shots being fired from inside. 11-year-old Gavin Ryan lives next door.<\/p>\n

“I was at my football game. My mom texted me. She told me there was a shooting and I was like pretty nervous about that and scared.”<\/p>\n

He says that type of thing ‘doesn’t usually happen in our neighborhood.’<\/p>\n

His mother told CBS 12 News<\/a> that deputies asked her to evacuate after the gunshots. SWAT officers later positioned themselves near her home. <\/p>\n

The sheriff’s office says Abbey was armed-and-dangerous, as well as drunk. <\/p>\n

He now faces three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we’re learing more about what may have led to<\/a> the standoff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An hours-long standoff in Martin County ends with the arrest of a man who had barricaded himself inside…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":406494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[85000,23311,23307,84998,84996,115,171,173,172,84997,807,84999,729,221],"class_list":["post-406493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-port-st-lucie","tag-clear-channel-miami","tag-coast-to-coast","tag-glenn-beck","tag-hannity","tag-jimmy-cefalo","tag-news","tag-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie-headlines","tag-port-st-lucie-news","tag-schnitt","tag-south-florida","tag-the-weather-channel-wall-street-journal","tag-traffic","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/406494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
