On Wednesday, Jan. 5, Navajo County Sheriff’s deputies, detectives and members of the White Mountain Regional Special Response Team (SRT) arrested Jeffery Clyde Perkins, 28, of Snowflake on four warrants following a six-hour stand-off. According NCSO on Sunday, Jan. 2, deputies responded to a report of an assault and domestic violence incident at a residence on Mountain View Road east of Snowflake. The suspect was unable to be located for several days until a search warrant was served at a residence on Mountain View Road where information was obtained that Perkins was hiding at a residence on Pinto Road in Snowflake. An attempt was made to have Perkins exit the residence and surrender, which he refused and barricaded himself inside the residence with a weapon. Following an approximately six-hour standoff between SRT and Perkins, he was taken into custody without any further incident. Perkins was booked into the Navajo County Jail.
