GALENA, Kan. — The FBI plans to pay for damages to a Galena home where its agents and officers from other law enforcement agencies unsuccessfully sought a man wanted on felony charges in Missouri, said Cherokee County Sheriff David Groves.
Groves said he didn't have an estimate of the damages at 1009 E. Fifth St. where multiple law enforcement agencies believed Doug Alexius, 40, who is said to be a member of the Joplin Honkies gang, had holed up. Groves said that Alexius was believed to be armed and in the attic.


Sheriff's deputies, Galena police and agents with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the FBI served a search warrant about 9 p.m. Monday at the residence.

All proper IMHO; not carried out in haste (20 hour standoff) nor with undo inconsideration for 'collateral damage' to the neighborhood-priority 1. Federal and state agencies all involved reflects a high level seriously dangerous hombre to be worth that much trouble. Kinda perplexed about the Christmas tree though!
