The man's refusal to leave the house prompted the SWAT team to head to the scene. The standoff lasted more than an hour, and part of the reason the man took that long to surrender was because he may have been taking a shower or bath while SWAT officers were outside waiting, according to FOX 11's crew.
Around 4:30 p.m., the suspect surrendered to police, wearing nothing but a towel. No one is believed to be hurt from the SWAT standoff.DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
