North Vernon man arrested after stand-off with police

A Jennings County man was arrested early Friday morning after officers with the North Vernon Police Department responded to a reported domestic disturbance.

A department spokesperson says that police responded to the scene, at the 2000 block of North Crestwood Drive, at 11:40 p.m. on Thursday. Officers reported speaking with the woman when they realized that the man, Derek Foster, 29, of North Vernon, was wanted on a Jennings County warrant. Police say that Foster initially refused to answer the door when they tried to talk to him.

The spokesperson says that Foster eventually emerged from the home at about 2:30 a.m. on Friday and surrendered to officers. Authorities say that, along with the warrant, Foster is also facing preliminary charges of Criminal Confinement and Intimidation.
