HIALEAH, Fla. \u2014 A 60-year-old man wanted on multiple child sex charges barricaded himself inside a Hialeah warehouse for hours Thursday<\/a> before surrendering to police, authorities confirmed. <\/p>\n

Hialeah police said officers and SWAT units were attempting to serve Jose Luis Antigua-Martinez with an arrest warrant when he armed himself and retreated into the rear of a property near West Eighth Avenue and 81st Street. <\/p>\n

The area around several automotive shops and the Puerquito Asado restaurant was shut down as officers surrounded the location. <\/p>\n

Sky 10 flew over Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School, raising concern among nearby workers.<\/p>\n

Antigua-Martinez remained barricaded for over five hours before surrendering, police said. <\/p>\n

According to his arrest report, officers were led to the warehouse after speaking with a man who had been found with the suspect\u2019s cellphone. <\/p>\n

Authorities said that man told police that Antigua-Martinez had been staying in the warehouse for only a few days and had confided that he believed he was wanted for injuring someone who tried to scam him.<\/p>\n

Detectives arrived at the warehouse early Thursday and, after identifying the suspect inside, attempted to execute the warrant. <\/p>\n

According to his arrest warrant, Antigua-Martinez barricaded himself and at one point pointed his own handgun at his head, expressing suicidal intent. <\/p>\n

After prolonged negotiations involving SWAT and crisis negotiators, he surrendered and was taken into custody. Police said he invoked his right to counsel and made no further statements.<\/p>\n

Authorities said the warrant stemmed from a Nov. 26 child protection investigation. <\/p>\n

According to the warrant, officers initially responded to a home in Hialeah after the Department of Children and Families reported that a minor, whose age was not released, had disclosed being touched while asleep at Antigua-Martinez\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n

The warrant stated that the victim, who was known to him, told investigators she had secretly set up a hidden camera after repeatedly waking up with the sensation of being touched. <\/p>\n

Police said she later reviewed the video footage and told police that it showed Antigua-Martinez touching her genitals and rubbing himself on her while she slept.<\/p>\n

On Dec. 2, the victim, in a statement to police, detailed several months of similar incidents during overnight visits at Antigua-Martinez\u2019s home, the warrant stated. <\/p>\n

Police said the victim reported confronting Antigua-Martinez by text after reviewing the recording. <\/p>\n

Investigators said he apologized in messages, telling her he would \u201cchange the way he shows love but he will never stop loving her.\u201d <\/p>\n

The victim stated that she then deleted the video from her cellphone, according to the warrant. <\/p>\n

Jail records show he is facing one count each of engaging in a sexual act with a child, unlawful sexual activity with a specified minor and lewd and lascivious touching of certain minors. <\/p>\n

As of Friday, Antigua-Martinez was being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. <\/p>\n
