Occurred Friday, December 28, 2012, 20:38, 1800 Talisman Street, Aggravated Assault, 1212280142

               A 55-year-old man was arrested safely Friday night after he barricaded himself in his home for about an hour and a half on the 1800 block of Talisman Street.

Corpus Christi Police were called to a disturbance at 8:40pm on the 1800 block of Talisman Street Friday night. A 32-year-old woman called police and said her 55-year-old friend, Juan Medina (7/2/1957) shot at her with a pistol. The woman said she was not injured and was able to get away from Medina.

The 32-year-old woman said she and Medina became involved in a disturbance which escalated to the point that Medina shot once in her direction. The 32-year-old woman said Medina was intoxicated and at his house alone.

Corpus Christi Police went to the house; but, Medina went into the house and refused to meet with the police officers. Medina was armed, had fired one shot at a person, and had gone into a shelter to a hidden position, so the Corpus Christi SWAT team and the Hostage Negotiating team were summoned to seek a peaceful end to the event.

The 4000 block of Niagra Street and the 1800 block of Talisman Street were closed to traffic for the duration of the negotiation. Several neighbors were displaced from their home to keep them at a safe distance during the event.

Medina was safely arrested at 10:40pm by the Corpus Christi SWAT team for Aggravated Assault (a 1st degree felony), Unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon (a 3rd degree felony), and for unlawful restraint (a Class A misdemeanor). Medina was then delivered to the city detention center.
