Preble County Sheriff’s deputies responded around 2 p.m. Wednesday to the 8400 block of U.S. 127 North to serve a felony warrant for robbery issued Oct. 21 against Gabbard in Wayne County.
The sheriff’s office received information from Richmond police that Gabbard was known to carry a gun and wear body armor. Deputies determined he was inside the residence but refusing to come out.
The Darke County Special Response Team, which includes deputies from Preble County, and the Miami County Special Response Team responded.
After several hours, crews deployed tear gas and deputies found Gabbard in the attic, according to the sheriff’s office.
Gabbard is held in the Preble County Jail and is due Wednesday in Eaton Municipal Court.
