HENRY COUNTY, VA – A man was taken into custody following a nearly two-hour standoff in Henry County on Thursday.
The Henry County Sheriff’s Office was at 58 Sanville School Road in Bassett attempting to locate a wanted person at 11:40 a.m.
Deputies say they found the wanted man, 30-year-old Jamie Lee Ore, outside of the home.
When a deputy approached Ore, he fled into the house.

At about 1:30 p.m., he exited the home and was taken into custody by the SWAT team without incident.
