Border Patrol agent arrested after standoff

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say a U.S. Border Patrol agent remains hospitalized after a weekend standoff with sheriff's deputies in Palm Beach County.

Luis Paul Rodriguez, 52, was arrested early Sunday morning at his suburban West Palm Beach home.

Authorities say a domestic dispute between Rodriguez and his wife escalated into an armed standoff that ended with Rodriguez being shot by a sheriff's deputy with a non-lethal weapon.

They say Rodriguez pointed a gun at deputies.

He was booked on multiple charges, including aggravated armed assault on a law enforcement officer. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
