A 4-hour standoff ended peacefully last night in Logan. Logan Police Captain Jeff Curtis says 31-year old Jeremy R. Peterson was at his home near 400 West and 200 North at approximately 6:30 p.m. when he threatened to harm himself and others. When police responded they contacted Peterson in the stairway.
