Deputies: Man in standoff threatened people with bow and arrow, swung machete

Sage surrendered to deputies around 4:45 p.m. Monday after the Montgomery County Regional SWAT team used tear gas to get him to come out of a home in the 7100 block of state Route 4, also called Germantown Pike in Jefferson Twp. His arrest ended a more than six-hour standoff.

Sage called in a fake abduction and then refused to come out of the house, according to an affidavit filed in the case.

“Josh had also threatened multiple people at the house with a bow and arrow and then swung a machete at (another man) and cut his finger,” the affidavit stated.

Sage remains in the Montgomery County Jail.
