CLAY COUNTY, Fla. — The man involved in a standoff with the Clay County Sheriff’s Office has been arrested.
Forest Glen neighbors in Orange Park woke up to shots ringing out early this morning.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office says 40-year-old Kendrick Ring Donnelly started shooting outside around 7 a.m. He then barricaded himself in a home off College Drive.
A swat team and crisis negotiators assisted Clay County sheriff’s officers, while some neighbors sheltered in place and others were evacuated to st. Johns river state college.
After several hours, Donnelly peacefully surrendered to authorities.
Cook says she’s glad no one got hurt.
"We have command staff that is with them, guiding them, but I’m letting them do their job. I’m not over their shoulder asking them a bunch of questions. I’m very confident in their abilities as seen here today with the peaceful surrender of the subject,” she said.
Cook says this incident is not related to Thursday night’s Amber Alert.
Donnelly is charged with shooting or throwing a missile into a dwelling, vehicle, building and aircraft.
