A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATION BRINGS OUT ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICERS OVERNIGHT TO THE 26-HUNDRED BLOCK OF GARCIA NORTHEAST. THAT’S WHERE OFFICERS MANAGED TO GET A FEMALE VICTIM AND HER SMALL CHILD OUT OF THE HOME SAFELY. APD SAYS THE MALE STAYED INSIDE WITH A SECOND CHILD AND REFUSED TO COME OUT.
SWAT WAS THEN ACTIVATED AND POLICE CLOSED OFF CLAREMONT AND CANDELARIA WHILE SWAT AND THEIR CRISIS NEGOTIATORS WORKED TO TALK THE MAN OUTSIDE. HE FINALLY SURRENDERED AROUND 3:00 MONDAY MORNING AND WAS ARRESTED.
APD ALSO SAYS THE SECOND CHILD WHO WAS WITH THE MAN WAS NOT HARMED. THE SCENE HAS SINCE BEEN CLEARED.
