Police have not released the man’s name, they have only identified him as a 40-year-old male.
Police say the man went into a unit that was not his, but the person who dwells in that unit from a previous relationship. The man held a woman against her will in the unit.
The woman was able to escape but the man had access to weapons, which resulted in calling SWAT and crisis negotiation teams to the apartment complex. This isn’t the first time the man has had SWAT called on him. SWAT was called on the man a few weeks ago.
