An hours-long standoff began and a SWAT team, bomb squad, and hostage negotiators were called to the complex.

Hancock was arrested by SWAT about five hours into the standoff.

Dayton Police Lieutenant Mark Ponichtera told News Center 7 that Hancock had an arrest warrant for gross abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence.

Ponichtera said, “he was also a person of interest in the same homicide.”

Hancock was previously indicted on these charges on Oct. 17.

He remains booked in the Montgomery County Jail and is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 7.

News Center 7 will continue to follow this story.
