Stand-Off Ends Peacefully

Occurred on 4/29/12, 11:27 am   Assault   3817 Montego   1204290061/1204290077

Shortly before noon, the Police Department received information about a female possibly being held hostage.  Officers arrived to find the victim outside, but she denied being threatened, assaulted, or held hostage. 

While Officers were talking to the female, her 21-year-old boyfriend threatened to harm himself and locked himself inside the apartment.  Officers on scene requested the assistance of the SWAT and the Hostage Negotiation Teams who were able to persuade the male to walk out of the apartment and surrender to Officers.  The male who was unharmed was taken to Spohn Memorial for medical evaluation.

As a precaution, several residents of the Christy Wood Apartments were evacuated, but allowed to return home shortly after the stand-off ended.
