Search of van in Springdale standoff finds handgun, other weapons

A thorough search executed under warrant Thursday turned up a loaded .40-caliber handgun, an axe, handcuffs, knives and nunchucks in a van involved in a Springdale standoff Wednesday, according to a news release from the Springdale Police Department.

A preliminary search of the van Wednesday had turned up only a toy gun after a standoff in which an officer fired several rounds at Rainbow Kilo Rasphoumy, who police said brandished a weapon and resisted arrest. There were no injuries.
