A Washington man is being held without bail in the Washington County Jail, accused of firing shots at police last month from a home on East Maiden Street, during an hours-long standoff. Sixty-seven-year-old Martin Walter Klick is facing sixteen felonies of aggravated assault, as well as a laundry list of misdemeanor charges, including prohibited possession of a firearm. The stand-off began around five o’clock on August 30th, at Klick’s apartment at 730 East Maiden Street. A woman who lives with him told police that he made unwanted sexual advances towards her and then threatened to shoot her and her daughter. The road around that area was closed for several hours. No one was hurt, but the stand-off lasted until roughly two o’clock in the morning.
