YANKTON, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - The Yankton Police Department announced in a Facebook post that a man had been arrested after taking two people hostage during a parole check.
The incident happened on the 1700 block of College Street around 3:15 p.m. on Thursday when Yankton authorities were assisting Department of Corrections Parole Agents who were checking on a male resident.
