EASLEY, S.C. -- A domestic dispute that turned into a standoff Tuesday evening in Easley ended late Tuesday night, Anderson County deputies said.

SWAT members were called to the home on Shenandoah Drive after a man barricaded himself inside, authorities said.

The man had been inside the home for more than six hours before surrendering at about 11:45 p.m. Tuesday.

According to deputies, the incident began as a domestic dispute between the suspect, William Laurenano, and a woman, believed to be his wife or girlfriend, inside their home located on Shenandoah Drive. The woman fled the house and called police from a business on Pelzer Highway.

When deputies arrived at about 5 p.m., they said Laurenano barricaded himself and his 18-year-old son in the house. Deputies also told FOX Carolina that Laurenano was armed with a gun.

Deputies said the man eventually let his son go at about 10 p.m., before surrendering about two hours later.

Laurenano was charged with criminal domestic violence. He was being held at the Anderson County Detention Center.
