Standoff of armed man in Auburn ends without injuries

Interesting article. The same guy who had a 45 minute standoff with the police was the victim of a beating on the Country Club of Mobile golf course. Earlier this year, he was charged with cruelty to a cat or dog. Guess he is used to encounters with the police, and this time he got to meat SWAT team members, too.

From http://www.al.com/news/mobileregister/in...24301410270.xml:
 
Police spokesman Smith said he did not know what Gruenewald did for a living in the Auburn area, or whether he might be a student.
(...) When police arrived, Gruenewald appeared at his door with a pistol in his waistband, Smith said. When the officers tried to speak with him, Gruenewald slammed the door, Smith said.
(...) Following his arrest after the standoff, the judge revoked the probation and ordered Gruenewald to the Lee County Justice Center to serve the 180-day sentence.
