A man accused of impersonating a state agent at a beer store in Mt. Oliver was arrested Tuesday night after a standoff in North Fayette Township.

Police say Donald Blanchard told an employee at Brownsville Beer and Convenience he worked for the state, took away employees' cell phones and demanded $10,000 threatening to put them in jail.


When officers tried to serve a warrant last night, they say Blanchard threatened to shoot them.

After 90 minutes of negotiations, he surrendered.

Blanchard is facing dozens of charges including terroristic threats and obstruction.
