MONTGOMERY (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A man wanted for murder in Michigan was arrested Tuesday at a relative’s home in suburban Montgomery after a three-hour standoff with police and U.S. Marshals.

The Kane County SWAT team was called at about 5:15 a.m. after police reported seeing a murder suspect, 35-year-old Scott Jones, in the 700 block of Oakton Drive, according to Kane County sheriff’s office spokesman Pat Gengler.

SWAT entered the home at about 8:50 a.m. and arrested Jones without incident, Gengler said. The only other person inside was a sleeping infant, who was unharmed.

Jones was taken to the Kane County Jail to await extradition to Michigan, Gengler said.
