GRANITE CITY - A large group of law enforcement converged on Granite City on Thursday morning after a person refused to come out of a home in the city after a search warrant was issued. The standoff lasted several hours, starting at around 5:30 a.m.

Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS) was called in with multiple police agencies in the area of Bryan Avenue in Granite City.

After a long period of negotiation, the person sought came out peacefully.
