PUEBLO — A man who barricaded himself in a home was arrested Tuesday, according to the Pueblo Police Department.
Police say they received a call around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday for suspicious activity on Palmer Avenue, which is located near Columbian Elementary School.
According to police, the man, later identified as 30-year-old Samuel Mares, allegedly menaced people in the area with a weapon. When police arrived, they say Mares refused to leave the house.
After several hours, police say they got a warrant to search the home and an arrest warrant for Mares.
News 5 reached out to Pueblo School District 60 and they informed us that Columbian Elementary School was placed in a secure perimeter hold due to the incident being close to the school.
After refusal to exit the home, police say Mares eventually surrendered, and he was taken into custody without further incident.
Mares was arrested on charges of felony menacing, third-degree and criminal mischief.
Editor's note: The Pueblo Police Department informed us the school was on lockdown. We were notified by D60 that the school was actually in a secure perimeter hold.
