Suspect in Parkston standoff faces new charges

Posted: Updated:

PARKSTON, S.D. (AP) - A man involved in an armed standoff with police in the South Dakota city of Parkston faces new charges.

Authorities allege 18-year-old Nicholas Heisinger barricaded himself in an apartment on March 2 and held police at bay for about two hours before surrendering without incident.

He initially was charged with simple assault on a law officer and obstructing law enforcement. He now is charged with felony aggravated assault of a law officer, obstructing law enforcement and public indecency for allegedly being naked in public. He could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted on the felony assault charge.

Heisinger's attorney did not immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment.
