after surrendering peacefully to deputies. Robinson is being evaluated by
medical personnel from the Levy County Department of Public Safety and was not
injured during the standoff. Robinson’s grandmother was not harmed and is also

Sheriff McCallum is relieved knowing this situation
was resolved peacefully."The men and women of the LCSO are true professionals
and answered this call with compassion and understanding. We want to thank our
community for their understanding while we worked through this difficult
situation".
The Levy County Sheriff’s Office is currently on
scene at 9851 NW 64 Terrace in Chiefland and deputies are negotiating with Jonathan
Lloyd Robinson 6-3-93 for approximately 2 ½ hours, and pleading with him to
surrender peacefully. Robinson was heard yelling at his grandmother by a
neighbor. Robinson was overheard threatening to harm her, him and others.
Robinson is reported to be armed with a handgun and the grandmother is still
inside the home with him.
This scene is currently active, but contained to the
home. There is currently no immediate threat to the community. Please stay away
from this area and allow deputies to work.
