A Nebraska man is now in custody after holding officers at bay all night and most of the day. He was wanted on gun related charges.

The ordeal is unfolded at the Rest Inn on East Admiral, just to the west of Memorial. It started about 11 p.m. last evening.

A woman was in the motel room with the man. She was not considered a hostage. She was released unharmed Wednesday afternoon. At first, the man was talking over the phone with officers, but that conversation has ended, then resumed later.

The man is wanted on gun related felony charges out of Nebraska. Police ask that you stay out of the area.
