GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - An intruder at a rural Grand Forks residence kept tactical officers at bay for six hours before trying to flee from the house, according to Grand Forks County sheriff’s officials.
The standoff began when a man arrived home to find the male intruder in his house about 10:30 p.m. Monday. The resident told deputies the man had access to weapons in the house, so SWAT officers were called to the scene.
Deputies tried to get the man to surrender, but he did not respond. According to sheriff’s officials, the man exited a basement window and attempted to flee into a wooded area about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. SWAT officers arrested the 46-year-old Grand Forks man.
He’s being held at the Grand Forks County Correctional Center.
