Clay County Standoff Leads To Arrest

  • {Kentucky}...A standoff in Clay County early Tuesday morning resulted in the arrest of 37 year old Kevin Lipps. Clay County Sheriff’s deputies were sent to the home of Lipps to serve a felony warrant for failure to appear on a child support warrant. When deputies arrived, Lipps ran into a back bedroom with a gun where he held a woman and small child hostage for nearly an hour as he threatened to kill himself. Deputies finally talk Lipps into opening the bedroom door, though he refused to obey any of their commands. After a short altercation, Lipps was tased and taken into custody and charged with kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment.  He was also served with the felony child support warrant and an additional parole violation warrant for violating terms of his parole.
