A standoff in Waldoboro that started around midnight is over and a suspect is in custody.

WABI-TV reports that Brian Bennett is in custody after holding police at bay for more than six hours.

Police have been searching for the man since September, when he escaped from them through a hole in the floor of his home. Officers had gone to the residence to arrest him on an active warrant when he locked himself inside and made his escape.
