A man was arrested after a standoff with Louisville police near St. Matthews Monday afternoon, according to police.
Officers responded to the 100 block of Wiltshire Avenue just after 12 p.m. on a trouble run, according to Louisville Metro Police Spokesperson Aaron Ellis.
Investigators said an armed man, who may have been dealing with a mental crisis and had forced someone out of the residence, was barricaded inside a home with a juvenile.
Police secured the area and called the LMPD SWAT teams to the scene.
Police said the man surrendered peacefully with the juvenile around 3:20 p.m. The man was taken into custody, and the juvenile was checked out by EMS but was not harmed.
The man’s name and charges have not yet been released.
