KENNEWICK, Wash. – Kennewick Police and the Tri-City Regional SWAT Team arrested a wanted felon Wednesday morning after a standoff.

At around 4:30 a.m., KPD found the man near North Fruitland Street and West Grand Ronde Avenue. He had multiple warrants out for his arrest including a felony and a domestic violence order violation.

NonStop Local typically does not name suspects until they are formally charged.

Upon arrival, the man reportedly ran into a home on the 500 block of West Entiat Avenue and would not leave. By entering the home, KPD says he violated another felony order violation.

SWAT and a K9 were requested to help. He was later found in the attic and taken into custody.

The man was booked into jail for felony order violation, resisting arrest, obstructing a public servant and his warrants.
