A Five Below employee in Richmond was arrested Saturday morning after attempting to hit multiple people with his vehicle and then barricading himself inside the store while armed, authorities say.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office says it was called just after midnight Saturday to the Five Belong along the Grand Parkway, where Ramsey Jones, 33, had allegedly tried to strike individuals with his car and then holed himself up in the store.
After hours in a standoff with a SWAT team negotiators at the scene, Jones was arrested, officials told KHOU 11. The sheriff’s office said in a statement that Jones surrendered and was taken into custody “without incident.”
Jones was arrested and charged with five counts of aggravated assault on a public servant, though the sheriff’s office did not elaborate. He also had two outstanding warrants for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the sheriff’s office said.
