The man involved in Friday night's standoff in Moberly has been transported to prison. GoodRadio News spoke Sunday morning to Moberly Police Chief Russell Tarr, who says 28-year-old James A. Acklin was released from the hospital before 9 a.m. Sunday, and has been taken to Fulton Reception and Diagnostic Center. FRDC is a prison operated by the Missouri Department of Corrections.
Moberly Police were called Friday to the 600 block of Fisk Avenue when a man, distraught and possibly armed, caused a disturbance with his girlfriend after arriving at the residence. The man has been identified as Acklin. Chief Tarr says the situation was resolved peacefully, but the incident required the work of numerous law enforcement officers and covered a span of almost six hours. This is what Chief Tarr had to say about the events when we spoke to him late Friday night:
