KAYSVILLE — The Kaysville Police Department issued a shelter-in-place warning for a neighborhood Thursday evening as they attempted to apprehend a person with outstanding warrants. Police confirmed Thursday morning the man was taken into custody overnight. Kaysville Dispatch also confirmed the shelter-in-place has been rescinded.
According to police, a 38-year-old man broke into his ex-wife’s home and was staying there without her consent in the area of Lincolnshire Way and Crestmont Way. At approximately 2 p.m., police were aware of the incident and responded.
Kaysville police said the ex-wife and the children inside the home were able to get out of the home safely when police arrived. However, the man barricaded himself inside the home and refused to get out.
Police believe the man does not pose a threat to other residents as he has not made any threats; he is just not cooperating with police. Negotiators are unsure if the man has a firearm. Because of this, they are asking residents in the area to shelter in place.
Kaysville police said it didn’t consider this incident as a hostage situation since the ex-wife and children were able to leave the home when police arrived, and the man didn’t try to stop them.
