St. Paul police and tactical team members surrounded a house Thursday afternoon in the area of Fairview Avenue near Englewood Avenue for five hours and eventually resolved the situation with an arrest.
Police came to the Hamline-Midway home to arrest a male suspect, said St. Paul police spokesman Mike Ernster, but the man refused to come out. Ernster did not provide details about whether it was the suspect’s home or someone else’s or the reason for the man’s arrest.
The standoff began around noon and ended at 5 p.m., when the suspect was taken into custody, Ernster said.
