NACOGDOCHES POLICE ON SCENE WITH BARRICADED SUSPECT

(August 13, 2021): Around 10:30 a.m. this morning Officers with the Nacogdoches Police Department went to the 2300 block of Stewart St attempting to serve felony warrants on an adult male suspect. The suspect chose to barricade himself inside the residence instead of surrendering. We do not believe there to be anyone else inside the residence. At this time our SWAT Team along with negotiators are on scene. We are communicating with the suspect attempting to get him to surrender. As per protocol with any incident such as this we asked administrators at Carpenter Elementary to go on lock down out of an over abundance of caution. Anyone living in the areas is asked to stay at home and not come to the scene. As further information becomes available it will be released.
