EUFAULA, OKLAHOMA - A standoff between a fugitive Georgia couple, their son and law officers ended without any injuries Friday afternoon, authorities said. McIntosh County sheriff's deputies and other officers were trying to serve an arrest warrant on Tony and Teresa Webb about 11:30 a.m. at a travel trailer parked behind a house, but Tony Webb and his son, 22-year-old Mickey Webb, ran as officers approached, officials said. "There was a shot fired at one of the officers going up" to the 25-foot trailer, Sheriff Jeff Coleman alleged. Mike Randol, an officer with the McIntosh County District Attorney's Drug Task Force, said officers were trapped between a pickup truck and the street. "We were pretty much pinned. There was a pickup parked between us and the travel trailer," Randol said. "There was a lot of moving around in the trailer." A call for help brought dozens of officers from neighboring towns, as well as the Oklahoma Highway Patrol's tactical team. "They (the Webb family) knew they were going to die was what we got from our first phone call," Randol said. Tony Webb, 45, was being sought on weapons, assault and cruelty to a child charges in Pickens County in northern Georgia, after he allegedly fired his gun at a door of a home in December. The bullet wounded one man while a 4-year-old child was nearby, according to reports. "It was some dispute over a motorcycle," Pickens County Sheriff's investigator Sherman McEntire said. Teresa Webb, 44, was charged as a party to those alleged crimes and was being sought on warrants for various drug and weapons charges. About 3:30 p.m. Friday, Tony, Teresa and Mickey Webb all came out with their hands up and were taken into custody without further incident. "The guy calmed down. Everybody came out to the units and surrendered real peaceful," Coleman said.
