EL PASO COUNTY, Colorado — A man was arrested following an hours-long standoff that led to a shelter-in-place order for people in the Security-Widefield neighborhood.
It happened on Excursion Way, near Powers and Grinnell, southwest of the Colorado Springs Airport.
Deputies were sent to the home around 2:30 p.m. Sunday to investigate a report of a menacing. After negotiations failed, a tactical unit was called in and the shelter-in-place was ordered just after 5:00 p.m.
The sheriff's office says the suspect tried to run from the home around 8:30. That's when they arrested him.
No one was hurt.
