Greene County man arrested in Cairo following ten-hour standoff with police

A Greene County man is facing charges after a ten-hour standoff in the Town of Cairo.

State Police arrested Nicholas Cassillo at a home on Blackhead Mountain Road.

Troopers responded to the home at about 3:15 p.m. Friday afternoon for a report of a suicidal man.

They say Cassillo was uncooperative, threatened officers with a knife, and damaged a squad car.

After ten hours, he voluntarily came out and was taken into custody.

He is now in jail on weapons, menacing, and criminal mischief charges.
