PORTLAND — A 27-year-old man with several warrants out for his arrest was taken into custody by police Wednesday after a search that prompted a pair of Northeast Portland school lockdowns, police said Wednesday.
Gabriel J. Sandoval was wanted on suspicion of robbery, burglary, hit and run and gun possession, according to Portland police. He fled officers and barricaded himself in an apartment at 5205 N.E. Killingsworth St. before being arrested, police said. Authorities suspected he had a firearm.
Students from Albina Head Start and Trinity Lutheran School were placed on lockdown, according to police.
Members of the Portland Police Bureau’s Special Emergency Reaction Team and Crisis Negotiation Team worked for more than four hours to apprehend the suspect, police said in a news release.
