Former Casper officer faces arraignment for charges stemming from a violent 16-hour standoff.

Former Casper police officer Michael Hughes, 30, faces arraignment on December 18 for charges including aggravated assault and battery, reckless endangerment, and property destruction following a 16-hour armed standoff last summer. Hughes barricaded himself in an apartment, firing shots and making threats against officers, leading to evacuations. His bond was initially high but reduced to allow him to enter a treatment facility for first responders in Utah.
