CLINTON — A SWAT situation that lasted more than 10 hours finally ended peacefully Friday, police said.

The incident began after police officers recognized Chase Montgomery Venstra, 34, while out on patrol near 3000 West 1400 North in Clinton, according to chief Bill Chilson of the Clinton Police Department. He said Venstra did not respond to officer's attempts to contact him after he went inside a house.

SWAT responded to the scene and sent in a robot, which located weapons and ammunition inside the home, according to Chilson. He said the robot searched the house room by room and cleared the main floor without finding Venstra.

Venstra was eventually arrested without incident and booked into Davis County Jail, according to police.
