A hostage standoff has ended at a Madison, Georgia hotel. A man who was holding three people hostage, including his infant son, surrendered Monday morning. It ended a 12-hour-plus ordeal that began 8pm Sunday night at a motel off Interstate-20 in east Georgia’s Madison.
Multiple agencies were on the scene of the standoff, including the FBI, GBI and Morgan County Sheriff’s Department. Authorities say the alleged abductor, 25-year-old David Dietz, is accused of a weekend kidnapping of his estranged wife, his seven-month old infant son, and a teenager. Authorities say Dietz is a former South Carolina police officer.
