Man arrested after crashing into at least 2 Louisville police cars, causing standoff on Outer Loop

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Walmart store on Outer Loop was put on lockdown for about two hours Sunday afternoon due to a standoff with Louisville Metro Police in a parking lot close to the building.

John Bradley, a spokesperson for LMPD, said officers responded to the 100 block of Outer Loop around 11 a.m. on a report of a stolen vehicle.

Officers tried to detain the vehicle and the suspect, but the driver of the vehicle tried to flee and hit at least two LMPD vehicles which caused "minor to moderate damage."

The suspect, later identified by court documents, is 30-year-old Raymond Heenan.

Police said the Heenan then barricaded himself inside the vehicle, and SWAT was called which eventually was able to get the suspect out of the vehicle.

A WDRB photographer on the scene said a perimeter was made on the grocery side of the Walmart to help move people out. Walmart and other businesses were on lockdown during the standoff.

Police said Heenan was injured by a K-9 unit and was taken to UofL Hospital.

Police said no one was injured and no shots were ever fired. There is no danger to the public.

Heenan is expected to be arraigned Jan. 2, 2024. He faces several charges including receiving stolen property, wanton endangerment and criminal mischief.
