Police say that a SWAT standoff is now over after previously taking up several hours Saturday afternoon on Spring Mill Way in Deerfield Township.

The search for a 5-year-old Hart County boy who wandered away from his home triggered an IAN Alert last week. It marked the first time it’s ever been used in Kentucky.

An emergency message alert by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office intended for Deerfield Twp. only, was also sent out to people in other areas.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office has provided more details on Saturday’s standoff that inadvertently prompted a text warning across southwest Ohio.
