A Roanoke Rapids man who held officers at bay during a November standoff is scheduled for federal arraignment in New Bern on June 14, court records show.

Roanoke Rapids police Chief Chuck Hasty confirmed the standoff is what led to the federal investigation of Khaalid Sharif Frederick.

According to electronic court records, Frederick was federally indicted in April for having been previously convicted of a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment for more than a year while possessing a firearm and ammunition.

Frederick, who was arrested by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, will appear before Magistrate Judge Robert B. Jones Jr. at the federal courthouse in New Bern at 9:30 a.m., the documents say.

Frederick remains in federal custody after Magistrate Judge Kimberly A. Swank found him not suitable for release following an April 29 detention hearing.

The standoff occurred on November 24 around 1:15 a.m. when police were called to the 500 block of Jefferson Street about Frederick not taking his prescribed medication and beating on a door.
