POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — Police in Pocatello say a standoff that started with a report of a domestic dispute ended peacefully four hours later when the suspect surrendered.
The Idaho State Journal reports police were called Sunday afternoon about a domestic dispute at a Pocatello home. When police learned the man inside was believed to be armed and intoxicated, they brought in a SWAT team to surround the home.
Police Lt. Jim Peterson says after a hostage negotiating team left several messages, the man called police who were eventually able to talk him into surrendering.
The man's name was not released. He was taken to a local hospital for a mental evaluation.
