Roughly 20 law enforcement officials, including regional SWAT team members in an armored vehicle, converged on a house on the 4100 block of East 18th Street following an anonymous tip Saturday.
The man inside the house was wanted for violating a restraining order and for an outstanding warrant related to domestic assault.
The four-hour standoff ended when authorities used tear gas to bring the man outside.
The Vancouver Police Department did not release his name Saturday.
Officer Ilia Botvinnik of the Vancouver Police Department said SWAT was called because the man refused to leave the residence. Because he was wanted for violating a restraining order and for an outstanding warrant, the police were obligated to bring him in, Botvinnik said.
He was arrested without incident after the home was tear-gassed.
The suspect’s girlfriend, Dawn Bushek, said Saturday that it was her home that was tear-gassed, and the incident left her and her son without a place to live.
