NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) -- A New Haven man barricaded himself inside his home when police arrived to serve an arrest warrant Thursday afternoon.
Just before 5 p.m., police received information that 33-year-old Laquan Scott had an outstanding warrant for a felony assault. The warrant charges Scott with pistol-whipping a woman.
The information also revealed that Scott was in an apartment at 239 Barnes Ave.
When officers arrived at the apartment and attempted to speak with Scott, he refused to come outside. Officers could see him through a window.
Since the crime on his outstanding warrant involved a gun, police activated Hostage Negotiations and SWAT teams.
After a brief negotiation, Scott came out and was taken into custody.
