Grants Pass, Oregon police have taken kidnapping suspect Benjamin Obadiah Foster into custody after an hours-long standoff on Tuesday night. Foster, 36, of Wolf Creek, was wanted for kidnapping, attempted murder and assault charges.

On Tuesday, police surrounded a home underneath which Foster was believed to be hiding. A SWAT team was trying to get him to surrender, but Foster did not respond. After several hours, authorities were able to take Foster into custody.
The spokesperson did not confirm how the scenario was resolved, but the suspect is now in police custody. It is unclear what charges Foster will face or what his next steps will be.
