Charges have been filed against a St. Joseph man after a six-hour long standoff with the Special Response Team earlier this week.
32-year-old Isaac Moore is charged with a misdemeanor for third-degree domestic assault. The charges stems from an incident that took place Sunday in the 1200 block of N. 26th St.
According to court documents Moore allegedly threatened to assault a woman while children were present.
“According to the victim Moore threatened to assault her if she called the police on him,” Officer Quentin Abbott with the St. Joseph Police Department said. “The victim stated Moore has assaulted her in the past. The victim’s and defendant’s minor children were present during this incident.”
As we previously reported, police responded to a residence in the 1200 block of N. 26th St just before 9 p.m. Sunday. After the subject refused to answer the door SRT was called out.
“Hiding inside his residence and failed to comply with numerous police orders, over an approximate 6 hour time period to come out of the house,” Abbott said. “These instructions were given to Moore via cell phone contact and loud speaker.”
Sergeant Brad Kerns said the standoff ended at 3 am Monday when officers entered the residence and apprehended the suspect. No shots were fired. There were no injuries. Sergeant Kerns said the suspect was the only one in the house.
Court documents state that based on evidence the court finds the defendant is a danger to the victim and denied bail. An arraignment is set for Oct. 20.
