Man faces charges after standoff

CAMPBELL -- Police negotiated for more than two hours at a Sixth Street home with a man they say held his girlfriend at knife-point.
Dashone C. Conner, 30, of Chambers Street, was arrested after he held the woman for 21/2 hours, beginning about 9 a.m. Sunday, police said.
The woman, in her early 20s, was taken to Forum Health Northside Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.
Conner was in the Mahoning County jail on charges of felonious assault, kidnapping, domestic violence and menacing by stalking.
Sgt. Nicholas Phillips, head of the Campbell Police Department tactical team and an advanced hostage negotiator, was called out to persuade Conner to set the woman free and surrender.
