A standoff in Harborcreek Township ended peacefully Wednesday after several hours of police negotiations, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
Troopers said 43-year-old Eugene Jawan Walker was arrested at a home in the 4100 block of Blueberry Drive after refusing to come out of the residence.
Police said troopers from the Erie barracks were called to the home around 12:05 p.m. for a report of an unwanted man inside. When Walker allegedly would not exit, state police surrounded the residence and activated the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT), according to the public information release.
Investigators said Walker’s brother was also inside the home but came out without incident.
State police said the victim, a 47-year-old woman, was interviewed and investigators determined a physical assault had allegedly occurred multiple times between Feb. 14 and Feb. 23.
Authorities obtained a felony arrest warrant and a search warrant for the home, police said. After several hours, Walker surrendered at about 5:20 p.m.
Walker faces charges for strangulation, terroristic threats, simple assault and harassment, according to state police. Police said an on-call district judge committed him to the Erie County Prison, and an arraignment was scheduled for Thursday.
