MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — A federal fugitive has been arrested after a brief standoff with officers in northern Iowa's Mason City.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that 25-year-old Levi Andersen was taken into custody on Thursday evening.
Mason City police say Andersen had been sought on a federal warrant stemming from his original convictions for weapons violations. Andersen is a former Mason City resident.
Officers had been tipped that Andersen was at the residence in central Mason City, and they went there about 5:30 p.m. They identified themselves and asked that Andersen surrender.
Officers went inside after about an hour and searched the house. Andersen was found hiding in the basement crawl space.
