According to Northampton County Sheriff David L. Doughty, deputies attempted to serve a warrant on Bell Haven Road in Northampton County.
“When deputies arrived on scene, the subject was unwilling to surrender to law enforcement, therefore we took the necessary precautions to protect the community as well as the suspect and the law enforcement officers on scene,” Doughty said.
The precautions included closing Belle Haven Road to all traffic.
James Allen Powell, 62, of Belle Haven, was taken into custody and charged with possession of a firearm by a felon.
Exmore Police Department, Accomack Sheriff's Office, Virginia Marine Resource Commission, Cape Charles Police Department and Virginia State Police responded to this incident.
