Two men are in the Trumbull County Jail following a standoff at Menard's store in Bazetta Township.

Police were called to Walmart Drive NE and 9 p.m. following a traffic stop.

Both the driver and passenger had active warrants for their arrest, according to police.

Police say the passenger, 44-year-old Bobby Maiden of Warren, got out of the car and gave himself up but the driver refused to leave the vehicle.

The driver, 38-year-old James Shaver III, was in possession of a switchblade when he eventually gave himself up.


Shaver is being held on charges of inducing panic, possessing drug abuse instruments, and resisting arrest.

Menards, Wendy's, and Eat'n Park were under lockdown during the situation which lasted one-and-a-half hours.
