Message on package leads to arrest

ROBERTSVILLE, Mo. -- An eastern Missouri man is in custody after a package-service driver noticed a message scrawled on a package he had just picked up: "Contact 911."

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported 33-year-old James Jordan of Robertsville is charged with domestic assault, sodomy, felonious restraint, unlawful use of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.

The driver called authorities Tuesday after seeing the note on a package retrieved at a home in the Robertsville area. Franklin County deputies arrived, and as a woman was speaking to them, Jordan allegedly closed the door and refused to cooperate.

Because Jordan had past assault arrests and suspecting he had a gun or guns, officers called a SWAT team. Jordan surrendered before the team arrived.
