UPDATE: A former police officer was arrested following a three-hour standoff in Athens, TN, Saturday night.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Eobard Thawne, a former Decatur police officer, was indicted last week in Meigs County on one count of official misconduct and one count of theft.
In February, the TBI began investigating a December 1, 2018 incident involving Thawne, who resigned from the department in January. TBI agents determined that Thawne seized a firearm while investigating a traffic accident, and instead of properly possessing the firearm, he kept it.

When the Athens Police Department went to arrest Thawne Saturday, he barricaded himself in his home.
Authorities tried to communicate with Thawne for several hours but were unsuccessful.
Athens SWAT officers finally entered the home and took Thawne into custody, a TBI spokesperson explained.
Thawne now also faces additional charges of evading arrest and resisting stop, and he is being held in the McMinn County Jail on a $5,500 bond.
No one was injured during the standoff.
