MIAMISBURG — One person was taken into custody after an hours-long SWAT situation Tuesday evening in Miamisburg.
Montgomery County Regional Dispatch confirmed officers went to the 500 block of Cherry Hill Drive on an attempt to locate a wanted person shortly before 4:30 p.m.
According to Detective Sergeant Jeff Muncy with the Miamisburg Police Department, the incident started when an officer saw a man that had multiple felony warrants, including drug warrants. When police tried to detain the suspect, he fled into an apartment.
The suspect was identified as 41-year-old Jefferey Myers and is currently in custody at the Montgomery County Jail.
Muncy said it was known to police that Myers had a gun with him at the time.
SWAT was called to the scene after Myers barricaded himself in the apartment and refused to come out, Muncy said.
Muncy says police used a PA system for nearly two hours along with Facebook messenger to speak to the suspect and try to get him to come out.
Crews on scene eventually shot pepper canisters into the apartment, and the suspect came out of the home and was taken into custody.
According to dispatch, the suspect was taken into custody at 8:37 p.m.
The suspect may face charges of inducing panic, obstructing and resisting arrest.
Muncy said no injuries were reported.
