DAYTON — A man involved in a nearly 10-hour SWAT standoff in Dayton in August pleaded no contest to charges in court Monday.
Devin L. Washington, 27, was convicted of obstructing official business, domestic violence and aggravated possession of drugs, according to Montgomery County court documents.
The charges were from three separate cases in July and August, but the court opted to consolidate them.
The aggravated possession charge is from a July 12 incident in which Dayton police reportedly found drugs in Washington’s car.
While being detained in the back of a cruiser, Washington was Tased and then later struck at least two dozen times by four officers.
An internal investigation is underway for the officers’ use of force.
The obstructing official business charged stemmed from a 9½-hour SWAT standoff on Pontview Avenue on Aug. 21.
The U.S. Marshals Service Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team Task Force members arrived at a house to arrest Washington on a felony warrant, according to Dayton police.
Washington reportedly barricaded himself in an upstairs room. A SWAT team later found him hiding in an attic and took him into custody.
Washington is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 15.
