Michael E. Stogsdill, 58, was arrested for Sunday’s police standoff where he threatened to kill himself, said Lt. David Drake, reading from a police report.
On Monday, Stogsdill was arrested at Bloomington Hospital on a Class D Felony for intimidation and a Class A misdemeanor for resisting law enforcement. He was taken to jail and booked.
From about 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Stogsdill threatened to kill himself outside of Country View Apartments where police and Monroe’s Critical Incident Response Team were called to. The situation diffused when Stogsdill was shot with a non-lethal sponge round and collapsed to the ground.
The weapon Stogsdill was wielding was later identified as an Airsoft gun.
If it were a lethal firearm, his charges would have been much worse, Drake said.
