(Boone County, Ky.) - A northern Kentucky man has been jailed after a lengthy standoff with police.
Boone County Sheriff's deputies responded to a home on the 3600 block of Burlington Pike on Saturday for a report of a family dispute.
Upon arriving at the home, deputies learned that Raymond Hicks, 31, of Burlington, had barricaded himself inside the home and was armed.
