A 36-year-old mother in Texas accused of abusing her husband and physically and emotionally torturing her children — even trying to put one of them in a hot oven — was arrested this week following a standoff with a SWAT team. Lul N. Top was taken into custody on Monday and charged with six counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.
According to a news release from the Allen Police Department, the agency’s SWAT team at about 8:53 a.m. on Feb. 12 responded to a residence located in the 1500 block of Tanglewood Drive to execute a search warrant and serve Top with the six aggravated assault warrants.
“When the SWAT team entered her residence, Top retreated into the attic and barricaded herself inside,” the release states. “Attempts to contact Top and negotiate with her were unsuccessful, and, after an hour of trying, chemical agents were deployed. At approximately 10:50 AM, Top surrendered and was taken into custody.”
