It was reported that Brandon Kincheloe, 33, of Columbus, had threatened a family member with a kitchen knife and then fled into the residence.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arrival, officers established a perimeter and began attempting to persuade Kincheloe to put down the knife and exit the home. As officers worked to de\u2011escalate the situation, additional information was obtained indicating that Kincheloe had battered a male, causing minor injuries, and had threatened to batter and stab another person during an argument. Kincheloe also threatened to stab officers while refusing to comply.<\/p>\n<p>The Columbus Police Department SWAT Team and crisis negotiators responded to the scene. Despite repeated efforts, Kincheloe refused to cooperate or drop the knife. Shortly before 11 p.m., SWAT personnel deployed less\u2011lethal options, allowing officers to safely disarm and take Kincheloe into custody.<\/p>\n<p>Kincheloe was transported to the hospital for evaluation before being remanded to the Bartholomew County Jail on preliminary charges of intimidation with a deadly weapon (two counts, Level 5 felony) and battery resulting in bodily injury (Class A misdemeanor).<\/p>\n<p>The SWAT Team is a combined unit consisting of members from the Columbus Police Department and the Bartholomew County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>All c<\/em><em>harges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guil<\/em><em>ty.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12296\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12296\" class=\"wp-image-12296 size-fusion-200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.columbus.in.gov\/police\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/09\/Kincheloe-Brandon-200x243.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.columbus.in.gov\/police\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/09\/Kincheloe-Brandon-200x243.png 200w, https:\/\/www.columbus.in.gov\/police\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/09\/Kincheloe-Brandon-247x300.png 247w, https:\/\/www.columbus.in.gov\/police\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/09\/Kincheloe-Brandon-400x486.png 400w, https:\/\/www.columbus.in.gov\/police\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2026\/09\/Kincheloe-Brandon.png 474w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brandon Kincheloe<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 17, 2026 A Columbus man is in jail after a two\u2011and\u2011a\u2011half\u2011hour standoff during which he was armed with a knife.
