LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 28-year-old Lincoln man is behind bars after police say he held them at bay for nine hours.
Police were called to a Lincoln home Thursday afternoon for a man pointing a gun out of a window. Officer Katie Flood says that when police arrived, Damien Brown climbed out of a second-floor window and threatened officers with a knife and a screwdriver. Flood says he jumped onto a neighbor’s roof, where he stayed until surrendering around 1 a.m. Friday.
Brown was arrested on suspicion of making terroristic threats, using a weapon to commit a felony, trespassing and obstructing government operations. Police say after his arrest, a toy gun was found in his house.
Brown remained jailed Saturday and could not be reached for comment.
