Man arrested after Sunday morning standoff with Police



One person is in custody after Cleburne County Sheriff's deputies say he lead them on what they called a "short pursuit" early Sunday morning in Heflin.  Chief Deputy Michael Gore says Brandon Keith Lecroy was the driver who lead them on the chase on County Road 13 in Heflin that ended in a standoff and his eventual surrender. Officials say Lecroy threw his gun out and surrendered to law enforcement shortly after units from Oxford Police ESU arrived on the scene at about 2am Sunday.  Lecroy is being held in the Cleburne County Jail on charges of attempted assault first degree, felon in possession of a handgun and attempting to elude among other charges.  Chief Deputy Gore says multiple agencies were involved in this incident including Clay County Sheriffs Office, Randolph County Sheriffs Office, Heflin Police Department, Wedowee Police Department, Oxford Police Department, USDA law enforcement, ALEA state troopers, and ALEA SBI.  Due to the circumstances and the multiple agencies involved, Cleburne County's Sheriff is requesting ALEA and its State Bureau of Investigation to take control of the case.
