Columbia Police arrested Octavious Bradshaw, 29, of St. Louis after a five-hour standoff Saturday morning in the 2700 block of Summit Road.
Bradshaw was arrested on charges of unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, first-degree domestic assault, fourth-degree domestic assault, felony resisting arrest, second-degree property damage, felony warrants, and a misdemeanor warrant.
Around 4:30 a.m., officers responded to a domestic disturbance at 2711 Summit Road where an alleged victim reported having been assaulted and threatened with a weapon. The victim identified Bradshaw as the suspect, according to a news release from CPD.
Bradshaw was reportedly inside the home with another adult and a child.
Sergeant Ryan Brunstrom told ABC 17 News that when officers arrived, they encountered a female victim and a male suspect who barricaded himself in the residence.
“We called in our SWAT team and our crisis negotiation team were able to basically talk him out of the residence, he surrendered peacefully, no injuries,” Brunstrom said.
A Bearcat armored vehicle was also at the scene. One witness at the scene told ABC 17 News that he saw guns pointed at the home.
Brunstrom said Bradshaw came out of the home willingly after the five-hour standoff.
The scene was cleared, and Bradshaw was taken into custody around 9:30 a.m.
The CPD Criminal Investigation team was seen investigating inside the home.
