Distraught Santaquin Man Police Standoff Ends in Peace l4mMitMmmX By PAT CHRISTIAN Herald Staff Writer Quiet has returned to a sleepy fry Santaquin neighborhood this i I morning. On Tuesday, the usually peaceful neighborhood north of Main Street at times looked like a battle zone as one resident, distressed about lingering unemployment and other problems, held off police for about four hours. After a dispute with his wife, Michael Dale Wingard, 28, 312 N. 100 E., locked himself in his rented home with a rifle and a coffee can full of ammunition and theatened to kill himself if police tried to capture him. There still is disagreement about whether shots were fired. The standoff began about 10:30 a.m. and continued until about 3 p.m. when law enforcement officers talked the distraught man er Meb Anderson Photo Jerry Scott (left), Utah County Sheriff's SWAT team member, talks with Wingard. from the house and then jumped him. "I have lived here all my married life and nothing has ever happened like this," said Una Painter one of many neighbors who was confined to her house throughout the long ordeal. She described the neighborhood as quiet and peaceful. She said when she drove to her home, police yelled to her: "Get into your house and stay there." one block from Her house was in the Wingard's home line of fire from an upstairs window. Leland Kelly, who lives next door to the Wingards, described the family as quiet. He said the family only had been there about a month, and he said he never had talked much with the husband or wife. He said his daughter was a playmate of the Windaughter. gard's Kelly was evacuated from the neighborhood after the incident began. "Just before police arrived I heard one or two shots from next door," he said. Some police authorities said they believed shots were not fired. But Santaquin police officer John Cluff said more than one neighbor reported hearing shots, and he said it appeared that the rifle found in the home had been fired recently. He said, however that no spent rounds were found in the home. Don Knox, Santaquin police chief, said the incident really began a week ago. "It started last week when Wingard tore up his house and we were called in. But when we arrived at the house, he had taken off." Santaquin Police Officer John Cluff, who investigated last week's incident, said the next Community Mental Health Center. Cluff said Wingard had checked himself out on Tuesday. Chief Knox said when he arrived at the home Tuesday, Wingard was standing in the doorway and threatened to kill himself if police tried to take him. Chief Knox and his three Santaquin officers were backed by about 20 men from the Utah County Sheriff's Department. They included 10 Jeep Patrol members, at least one radio specialist, a dispatcher, five members of the SWAT team and others. Authorities established a command post in a nearby home and began negotiating with the distraught man by telephone. A area around the day, Wingard voluntarily checked into the Timpanogos four-bloc- k home was blocked off and authorities requested the local elementary school detain students so they would not be walking home near the area.
