A St. Paul man surrenders after standoff with police

A St. Paul man was jailed Saturday after having an hour and a half long standoff with St. Paul police and a SWAT team.

Police arrived to the 38-year-old man's home after receiving a call from his ex-girlfriend stating that the man was threatening to kill her with a gun, the Pioneer Press reported.

According to a statement from the St. Paul Police Department, the police arrived on the scene of the 1100 block of Arundel Street at 3:45 p.m. and the man would not answer the door.

The officers called in a SWAT team and the man still refused to answer the door. The standoff lasted for an hour and a half until eventually the man was arrested.

While the victim was not injured, the man was brought to jail on the charge of aggravated assault, the Star Tribune reported.
