KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knoxville Police said a man surrendered peacefully after a standoff between him and police lasted for several hours on Saturday afternoon.
KPD said around 1 p.m., officers responded to the 500 block of South Castle Street to make contact with Dathan Remy, 19. Remy was wanted on three counts of aggravated assault and one count of aggravated robbery from an incident that happened at that address Friday night.

KPD said a woman was also taken into custody after Remy's arrest.
