MacKenzie Brisson's mugshot
By Erin Smith
The man involved in a standoff with law enforcement in Dublin in November had his case continued in Bladen County Superior Court on Monday.
Attorney Harold “Butch” Pope told the court his client, McKenzie Brisson, is in a treatment center in Asheville. A letter sent to his office recently said Brisson will be in the treatment center for 21 days and will then move to a recovery program, according to Pope.
The Bladen County Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Douglas Sasser continued Brisson’s case until April 2.
Brisson was involved in an armed standoff with law enforcement which lasted 6 hours in November. During the standoff, Brisson fired rounds of ammunition in and around a home on Paul Brisson Road in Dublin. The shots eventually ceased and law enforcement sent a robot into the house to locate Brisson. The robot was initially unable to locate Brisson inside the house, but he was eventually located inside a pick up truck in the garage of the home and taken into custody without incident. No was injured during the standoff.
