A standoff between a suspect and federal agents in the Upstate ended peacefully. The FBI says agents went to the Home 2 Suites on Beacon Road in Greenville to serve a federal warrant Friday afternoon.

When they encountered the suspect reportedly threatened to harm themselves and drew a gun. Agents then evacuated the hotel and SWAT team personnel and crisis negotiators were called in. After a standoff of several hours the suspect surrendered without incident.

The FBI says it can't reveal the identity of the suspect or the charges against them until the suspect appears in federal court.
