WILLIAMS, Ariz. — Authorities say an armed man who barricaded himself in his car for more than six hours outside a Safeway in Williams now is in custody after he wounded himself.
Coconino County Sheriff's officials say Wednesday's standoff began shortly after noon and ended around 6:30 p.m. when Matthew Solan shot himself and suffered a leg wound.
Solan was treated at a Flagstaff hospital and then booked into the county jail on suspicion of kidnapping, aggravated assault, weapons violations, resisting arrest and probation violation.
Sheriff's deputies and Williams police had executed a traffic stop on Route 66 for Solan, who was wanted for questioning in an aggravated assault and kidnapping case.
The man told authorities Solan allegedly had used a gun to hold him against his will Monday north of Williams.
