Booneville Man Arrested After Barricade Standoff on Mulberry Street
Larry Joe Campbell barricaded himself inside his Mulberry Street building on March 3 as officers arrived to serve a warrant, touching off a standoff that ended in his arrest.
Larry Joe Campbell was taken into custody March 3 after barricading himself inside a building he owns on Mulberry Street in Booneville while officers attempted to serve a warrant against him.
Officers dispatched to the Mulberry Street address were initially unable to make contact with Campbell, and the situation escalated into a brief barricade before he was eventually taken into custody, according to local authorities.
Key details surrounding the incident remain incomplete. The law enforcement agency or agencies that responded have not been publicly identified, and neither the type of warrant officers were serving nor any charges filed against Campbell have been confirmed in available accounts of the incident. The duration of the standoff, whether specialized units such as negotiators were deployed, and whether any injuries occurred are also not yet known.
The incident took place roughly two weeks before the Booneville Sentinel published its account of the arrest in its March 19 issue. The full details of that report remain behind a subscriber paywall. Anyone seeking additional information can reach the Sentinel at 606-464-2444 or by mail at PO Box 129, Booneville, KY 41314.
