SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (KGUN) — A man barricaded himself in a home, Monday afternoon in Sierra Vista. The Sierra Vista Police Department (SVPD) responded to the residence and closed the 300 block of Peterson Street for hours.
According to officials with SVPD, 26-year-old Buckles Jeremiah Shell, was arrested Sunday for a domestic violence charge. He was released with a condition of his release being that he was not to return to the house. Family notified SVPD that he had returned to the house, causing SVPD and the Cochise County Sheriff's Office to respond to the house Monday afternoon.
“There’s some concern there might be violent tendencies, so that’s why we kind of set up a perimeter,” said SVPD Public Information Officer, Scott Borgstadt.
They closed the 1300 block of Peterson Street while they tried to get Shell to leave they home. Borgstadt said they used flash bangs and other non-lethal methods to try and get him to vacate the house.
At 5:45 p.m. Shell left the house, running from the back of the house. He was quickly stopped by law enforcement.
“In these circumstances, our main objective is protecting the community,” SVPD Lt. Justin Dannels said in a statement. “That is why we slow things down and try to negotiate with the subject to get them to surrender peacefully.”
Shell was taken to a local hospital before being taken to jail.
He's charged with domestic violence criminal damage, burglary, domestic violence aggravated harassment, interfering with judicial proceedings, and resisting arrest.
