DELAND, Fla. (FOX 35 WOFL) - Four men have been arrested in connection to an armed robbery, one of which was involved in a 12-hour standoff with police in Deland.

Brown was taken into custody.
The sheriff tells Fox 35 the the suspect had threatened to shoot law enforcement and then himself.
"We had our bomb squad, we had robots we had negotiators, we had our SWAT team we had everybody here," said Sheriff Chitwood. "The objective was to end this as peaceably as possible and give the bad guy a chance to end this peaceably and tonight it worked out just that way."
The Sheriff says Brown, his brother, 23-year-old Codey Brown, 22-year-old Ryan Mackey and 16-year-old Eric Lutz, are accused of robbing a couple Monday afternoon at the Intermodal Bus Transit facility on South Woodland Blvd.
