PHENIX CITY, Ala.
News 3 cameras were rolling when a Phenix City man was tased and arrested outside his home Monday afternoon after an hour-long standoff with Phenix City Police.

Jonathan Russ was arrested outside his Phenix City home on Maggy Court in the Silver Leaf subdivision.

Police initially went to the home for a welfare check on a child. Russ answered the door with a gun and wouldn't let the officer inside, Phenix City Police Lt. Jason Whitten tells News 3.

Authorities say as the officer was calling for backup, a child ran out of the house. The child was staying at the home with Russ, according to police. Authorities would not comment on the relation of the child to Russ.
