Austin, MN – The man arrested following a brief standoff in Austin earlier this week was wanted for stealing a vehicle that officers found destroyed by a fire, according to Mower County Court records Thursday. Terrance Book was initially taken into custody after he was found hiding in an attic at a residence on 2nd St. Southwest, where officers responded to a domestic disturbance. Book has now been linked to a vehicle theft on December 15. Austin police located the stolen jeep fully engulfed in flames, according to court documents.
