COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A 24-year-old man arrested after a five-hour standoff with officers in Columbus has been sentenced for several crimes.

Online court records say Stephen Knott on Friday was given up to 19 years in prison for crimes that included strangulation, use of a weapon and false imprisonment. He’d pleaded guilty on July 20 after prosecutors lowered some charges and dropped others.

On March 6 Knott held officers at bay for around five hours. Police say he had threatened and assaulted his ex-girlfriend while armed with a handgun.
