Kincaid, 62, was pronounced dead at 1:37 p.m. inside the hotel room after police attempted to serve him with an arrest warrant for a parole violation, according to the Lehigh County Coroner\u2019s Office. His cause of death was ruled a gunshot wound, and the manner of death was suicide.<\/p>\n<p>The incident began around 10:16 a.m. when Pennsylvania State Police Troop M Bethlehem troopers spotted Kincaid outside the hotel while serving the warrant. He fled into a room and barricaded himself with a firearm. The Allentown Emergency Response Team attempted to negotiate a peaceful surrender, but when entry was made, Kincaid was found dead.<\/p>\n<p>Court records show Kincaid was awaiting a preliminary hearing on multiple charges filed in September, including Driving Under the Influence, Driving While Operating Privilege Suspended, Careless Driving, and Operating Without Required Financial Responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Kincaid had a violent past. In 2005, he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault after beating a woman and threatening to \u201cshoot it out\u201d with police if confronted, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcall.com\/2005\/04\/15\/man-sentenced-to-state-prison-for-five-to-10-years-in-beating-ex-heidelberg-twp-resident-also-threatened-to-shoot-others\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Morning Call <\/a>reported at the time. The victim, Tracy Stahler, told troopers that Kincaid claimed he had six bullets in his gun, \u201cone for everybody in the house.\u201d She suffered a lacerated spleen and multiple injuries in the attack. Lehigh County Judge William E. Ford later sentenced Kincaid to five to 10 years in state prison, calling him a danger to the community.<\/p>\n<p>The Lehigh County Coroner said an autopsy will be performed on Tuesday, Oct. 21, with toxicology testing included. The case remains under investigation by the Troop M Criminal Investigation Unit with assistance from the Allentown Police Department, Allentown Emergency Response Team, and the Lehigh County Coroner\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Weissport man with a history of violent crime died by suicide after barricading himself with a firearm&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8842,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2376,7467,182,7466,2375,28,30,29],"class_list":{"0":"post-8841","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pennsylvania","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-daily-voice","10":"tag-local-news","11":"tag-man-with-violent-past-dies-by-suicide-after-allentown-super-8-barricade-pa-state-police","12":"tag-newsbreak","13":"tag-pennsylvania","14":"tag-pennsylvania-headlines","15":"tag-pennsylvania-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
