Danville, Pa. — Jarrett Lee Castelonia, 44, was arrested early this morning following a tense standoff with Pennsylvania State Police troopers and the U.S. Marshals Service. The incident unfolded around 6:20 a.m. at the Super 8 Motel in Danville.
Castelonia, wanted on a felony warrant for prohibited firearm ownership in Northumberland County, was sought for allegedly assaulting a woman with a telescope stand in Zerbe Township and unlawfully possessing a firearm due to his felony status.
