UPDATE, VIDEO: Hostage Situation Over in North Forsyth County

UPDATE: Video, and past record of suspect, Scott Whelchel, 1:35 p.m.

A hostage situation that began early Tuesday morning in northeastern Forsyth County has ended.

The suspect, 28-year-old Matthew Scott Whelchel, was taken into custody at about 10:55 a.m. Tuesday, according to Capt. Tim House with the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office.

The woman who was being held hostage at a home located at 5755 Burruss Mill Road suffered some cuts and bruises and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

According to Capt. Tim House, a call came in around 1:37 a.m. from the ex-girlfriend of the suspect who said he had beat up his current girlfriend and was holding her hostage.

"Uniform Patrol arrived on the scene, tried to make contact with him, tried to talk to him, talk him out with no avail," said House. "So SWAT and crisis negotiators were brought in to negotiate with him about 4 o'clock this morning."

House said in addition to SWAT and the Crisis Negotiation Team, the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, Forsyth County Fire and EMS were on the scene.

This is not the first time Whelchel has been in trouble with the law. He was arrested by the FCSO in August and charged with family violence battery, and obstruction and cruelty to children, said House.
