(May 19, 2008)—William Payne, 26, was in the McLennan County Jail Monday after two elderly Hewitt women were held hostage in their home for several hours overnight.
Police responded to a call around 10 p.m. Sunday that a man was harassing the two elderly women at a residence at 133 Oklahoma in Hewitt.
When officers arrived, however, the man barricaded himself inside the home with the two residents as hostages, police said.
Hewitt police requested assistance from the Woodway Police Department’s SWAT Team, which is made up of officers from Woodway, Robinson and Hewitt.
The standoff ended around 1 a.m. Monday without incident and the woman were freed unharmed.
