SAN ANTONIO – Update:
A man accused of armed aggravated robbery and who was involved in an hours-long standoff with San Antonio police is now in custody.
The standoff happened Friday afternoon in the area of Churchill Estates.
Michael Magee, 38, is accused of entering a residence, uninvited with his girlfriend, and robbing a 72-year-old disabled man and his 50-year-old daughter two nights ago, according to police.
Both the man and his daughter suffered cuts and bruises, officials said.
After Magee and his girlfriend took their property, they left the scene. However, police said Magee’s girlfriend returned to the residence and attempted to take the man’s walker, but was unsuccessful.

After several hours had passed, police said Magee surrendered peacefully and without incident. He was booked on three felony warrants, including aggravated robbery, unauthorized use and possessing a controlled substance.
Officers also conducted a search warrant and located the handgun used in the robbery and the stolen property from the victims.
