Domestic violence suspect surrenders
Monday, March 8, 2010
A 41-year-old man surrendered to police Monday evening after a 2½-hour standoff in Vancouver’s Rose Village neighborhood.
Officers were called to the home at St. Johns Boulevard and East 33rd Street about 3:30 p.m., said Officer Ilia Botvinnik with the Vancouver Police Department.
Officers were told the man was wanted for alleged felony domestic violence, and that he had a history of possessing guns.
As a result, officers took positions around the home.
They called in the Southwest Washington Regional SWAT Team, Clark County Sheriff’s deputies and a tracking dog, and asked that special weapons, including a less-lethal gun and gas, be brought to the scene.
Those weapons weren’t deployed and no shots were fired. Officers used a loudspeaker in a patrol car to ask the man to come outside and he surrendered about 6 p.m., Botvinnik said.
Police did not immediately release the man’s name.
