STAPLES WOMAN MAY FACE DOMESTIC DISPUTE CHARGES

The Staples woman arrested after a five-hour police stand-off early Tuesday remains in the Wadena County Jail. A police negotiator convinced 30-year old Deborah Lee Weidt to put down her weapon and surrender around 6am. A Staples police officer had responded to a domestic dispute just after 1am and a man said he had been assaulted and that the woman in the apartment had a weapon. 30 people were evacuated from the apartment building. Wadena County Attorney's office may file charges.
