DETALLES:

En enero 16, 2019, en alrededor 11:30 p.m., officers were dispatched to an apartment in the 1300 block of Althea Court, regarding a suicidal adult male threatening with a knife. Officers contacted the subject in the living room and began negotiations with him, as he held two knives to his throat and threatened suicide. Officers learned there were additional family members locked in an upstairs bedroom that were unable to leave the residence. Officers requested the assistance of the Fire Department to respond with a ladder, at which time the officers evacuated the occupants through a second story window. Officers negotiated with the suicidal subject for approximately 30 acta, as he held the knives to his throat, before he voluntarily put the knives down and surrendered to authorities without incident. The subject was subsequently placed on an involuntarily hold for a mental health evaluation.
