A domestic dispute between Fort Drum soldier Jason Love and his wife turned into an armed standoff.

With 30 to 40 police officers surrounding his house during the five-hour standoff, Love, wearing full body armor, allegedly fired a rifle three or four times.

Eventually, police talked Love into surrendering.

He was charged with menacing a police officer, first degree reckless endangerment, second degree criminal possession of a weapon and unlawfully wearing a body vest.
