What started as a disturbance call to a northside tavern turned into an hours-long standoff and action by the police Special Response Team.

Police Sergeant Brad Kerns says officers were called to the Brown Bear on Saint Joseph Avenue at 11:02 Wednesday night.  The suspect left before officers arrived.  They found him in a residence in the 1400 block of North 22nd Street.

Sergeant Kerns says when the suspect barricaded himself in, the SRT was called.  The standoff ended at 3 am Thursday when the suspect came out and surrendered.  No shots were fired.  There were no reported injuries.

The 54-year-old man was taken into custody for investigation of multiple offenses.

The case has been submitted to the prosecutor’s office. Charges have not yet been filed.
