GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — A 26-year-old Green Bay man is now in custody after an order for his arrest lasted hours Monday afternoon.
Police say the arrest was made around 5:45 p.m. after law enforcement used various tactics to arrest the man barricading himself in a house.
For all of Monday afternoon a portion of S Baird St. was blocked off.
Video shows the street packed with squad cars, an ambulance, fire crews and more.
Earlier in the day, officers had already been in the area investigating separate disturbances from the same man.
"While police were on the scene, the subject approached officers, made threatening gestures which escalated the situation," Andy Opperman, Investigations captain of the Green Bay police department, said.
Opperman said non-lethal force was used on the man after he refused to leave the house.
Following his arrest the man was taken to the hospital for evaluations and there was no longer a threat to the area.
INITIAL REPORTING:
