SWAT team surrounds home in Longmont
By Pierrette J. Shields
The Daily Times-Call
LONGMONT — Longmont police late Sunday surrounded a home on the 1300 block of Red Mountain Drive with a barricaded man inside, but began pulling out at about 12:45 a.m. today, apparently without making an arrest.
A child may have been inside with him, according to police radio traffic.
Police on scene declined to speak about why the man was barricaded inside 1301 Red Mountain Drive in a standoff that began at about 9:30 p.m., promising instead a news release at the conclusion of the incident. Sergeants were also unavailable during the incident to explain the original call.
At 12:30 a.m., officers broadcasting on radios from the scene began to plan a pullout.
Police cruisers, paramedics and civilian vehicles of SWAT officers responding to the scene lined Monarch Court in the typically quiet northeast Longmont neighborhood.
Officers used a bullhorn and attempted phone calls to speak with the man they called “Armando.” Commands were called out in both English and in Spanish. Boulder County Assessor’s records do not list an “Armando” as a homeowner at the address.
Officers tried to persuade him to turn on his cellular phone so his girlfriend could call him.
Longmont Emergency Unit staff blocked off access to the area.
