The United States Marshal's office and Woodbury County Task Force officers began tracking down a fugitive at 3:00pm on Friday. Geovanny Gonzalez-Gonzalez was holed up at a family member's home, on the rural road K-18 just north of Sioux City.
Family member told authorities Gonzalez-Gonzalez had a .380 pistol in his possession and they believed he was suicidal.
At 7:30pm, after several hours of not surrendering, he finally gave himself up and was booked into the Woodbury County Jail.
Gonzalez-Gonzalez was wanted for failing to appear for a court hearing. He was originally charged with drug trafficking.
We're following a developing story that brought several county, state and U.S. officials to a stretch of road just North Sioux City on Friday.
A stretch of road was closed for several hours near the Woodbury/Plymouth County line starting late Friday afternoon.
Responding vehicles were lined up down a gravel road near the intersection of K–18 and 314th Street. The rood has since been re–opened and we've learned the Plymouth County Sheriff's Office is being de–briefed.
We'll bring you more details as soon as they become available.
