A one-hour stand-off Monday in Tabor ended with a Fremont County Sheriff’s Deputy suffering minor injuries and a suspect arrested on numerous charges. The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office reports Tabor Police were called to a residence in Tabor at around 9:30-p.m., following a report a man was causing a disturbance. Upon arrival, the officer observed 34-year old Kain Endicott, of Tabor, armed with a knife inside the residence. The responding officer called for assistance from the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office.

A Fremont County K9 and a crisis negotiator were also called to the scene. During the approximately one-hour standoff, authorities say Endicott brandished the weapon towards officers, ingested controlled substances, admitted to ingesting methamphetamine, and requested officers to shoot him. Endicott then exited the residence through a rear door, where a taser was deployed. He continued to struggle with officers, resulting in a deputy receiving a laceration from the knife to his hand. After the K9 “Roby” was deployed, Endicott released the knife and was placed under arrest without further incident.

He  was transported to Grape Community Hospital with minor injuries and then to the Fremont County Jail. The injured deputy was treated and released at the scene. Endicott faces felony charges that include Going Armed with Intent (a Class D Felony) and Assault on a Police Officer while using a weapon (a Class D Felony). He was also charged with Interference with Official Acts/ causing Bodily Injury, a Serious Misdemeanor, Possession of Marijuana, 3rd or Subsequent Offense, an Aggravated Misdemeanor, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, a Simple Misdemeanor.

Endicott was being held at the Fremont County Jail without bond, awaiting initial appearance with the Fremont County Magistrate. The Tabor Police Department, Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, and Tabor Rescue responded to the call.
