A Trion man is in custody of Chattooga County authorities after a short standoff at a Cummings Road address in Trion this afternoon. According to Sheriff Mark Schrader, the man fired one gunshot into the woods and not at anyone. He was reportedly experiencing some type of psychological issues while intoxicated, the Sheriff said, adding that the man has some problems but he doesn't think he threatened to harm anyone and just threatened to shoot himself. The man eventually was talked into surrendering ending the standoff. The sheriff says he is looking into the matter to see if any charges will be filed or if the man will be taken somewhere for a mental evaluation.
