Suspect Barricaded In Tigard Home Surrenders After Hours-Long Standoff – KXL

A man in Tigard has been arrested after an hours-long standoff inside a home. Last night around 10:45, Washington County Sheriff’s were called to a residence near Southwest Fischer Road and Eldorado Drive.

Washington County Sheriff’s deputies were able to get family members of the 37-year-old suspect out of the home before the suspect locked himself inside.

Detective Shannon Wilde says after not following orders to talk, there was added backup.

“More resources were called in, including our SWAT team, our tactical negotiation team for Washington County,” Wilde said. “Our team was able to obtain a search warrant for the involved individual.”

Detective Wilde says the situation escalated from there.

“He began to set a fire inside the house,” Wilde said. “He was the only person in the house, so the fire department was called in and they were able to quickly extinguish the (flames).”

Around 6am, the suspect finally surrendered. He was taken to the hospital for his injuries and his condition is unknown. The 37-year-old suspect will not have his identity released by authorities until he is medically cleared after suffering injuries during the incident.

Once he is booked into jail, he will be arrested on charges including domestic harassment and arson.

Both criminal and fire investigation into the incident. The scene near Southwest Fischer Road and Eldorado Drive in Tigard remains active and authorities say for the public to avoid the area.
