Burke <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.  \u2014 A dispute over a parking space turned into a police standoff on Thursday afternoon in Fort Lauderdale, police said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Fort Lauderdale police officers responded to a one-story apartment building at Miami Road and Southeast 19th Street, in a neighborhood west of Port Everglades. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">A man and a woman, allegedly involved in the dispute, refused to come out of an apartment, according to Sgt. Patrick O\u2019Brien, a spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The two eventually walked out of the apartment, police officers detained them, and were investigating a report that weapons were involved, according to O\u2019Brien. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases who wants to remain anonymous to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Local 10 News Assignment Editor Carson Merlo contributed to this report. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Location<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Andrea Torres\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/https:\/\/author-service-images-sandbox-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/83a8effa-fc87-4940-96.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Andrea Torres<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">The Emmy Award-winning journalist joined the Local 10 News team in 2013.
