Man arrested after barricading himself inside Louisville home with juvenile, police say

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- 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, Louisville Metro Police Spokesperson Aaron Ellis said in a statement. That's off Wilmington Avenue and Shelbyville Road, not far from Breckenridge Lane, in the city's Rockcreek Lexington Road neighborhood.

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, Ellis said.

Police secured the area and called the LMPD SWAT teams to the scene.

LMPD 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.
