1 in custody after barricade situation ends in central Las Vegas
A man was arrested Monday after he brandished a handgun during a disagreement, apparently struck an apartment building with his car and refused officers’ commands to give himself up, according to Las Vegas police.
According to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Brian Boxler:
Officers were called to Dumont Boulevard and Maryland Parkway about 4:30 p.m. The man accused of pointing a gun had fled, and his black sedan was found in an alley.
Officers used a bullhorn in an attempt to coax the man outside. He ended the standoff after learning of SWAT team members’ pending involvement.
swat just brought a suspect into custody after he pointed a gun at another man and barricaded himself inside an apartment at maryland parkway and desert inn road.
