(From Aurora-Marionville Police Department)This morning, AMPD assisted the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office in apprehending a wanted subject in the area of Edgewood drive and Chicory in Aurora. The wanted person had barricaded themselves in a house and information lead us to believe he may have been armed.
The Aurora-Marionville Special Response Team was requested, but the suspect surrendered prior to a tactical operation being performed and was subsequently arrested. No one was hurt during this incident.
As a precaution, we requested the schools near the area to be placed on a soft lockdown. This was precautionary only because we wanted to control movement and assure safety in the area in case we needed to take more aggressive action to apprehend this subject. There was never a direct threat to the schools and no incident took place within the schools or on school property.
As always, we appreciate the cooperation we receive from our school district and thank everyone for their patience while we do our work.
As a result of this operation, Kelby Tettenhorst was taken into custody and transported to jail by our partners with the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office.
