Van, SWAT arrest main

A man was arrested in Logan Canyon early Thursday morning after authorities say he evaded police for hours and had a standoff with SWAT.

Around 9 p.m. Wednesday, according to a news release from the Utah Department of Public Safety, a driver was reported to law enforcement on U.S. Highway 89/91 near Wellsville. The driver — in a gray Mercedes van with Nevada plates — was flashing their lights behind the complainant and driving erratically, troopers wrote.
