(MIDDLEBURY) – Authorities have released the name of the man who was involved in a stand off last week in Northern Indiana.

At 5:30 AM, Haraldsen got out of the vehicle, thanks to the SWAT Team and a K-9 officers.
Haraldsen is still in the hospital. He is charged with resisting law enforcement with a vehicle and possession of meth.
