HOUSTON \u2013 A man was arrested after an hours-long police standoff at a hotel in North Houston.<\/p>\n
Police said a guest at the Suburban Studios on the North Freeway noticed smoke coming from a room at about midnight and knocked on the door.<\/p>\n
The man answered, allegedly showed a gun and shut the door, according to police.<\/p>\n
The smoke set off the sprinkler system inside the hotel.<\/p>\n
Hotel staff called 911 and they said he refused to come out to officers.<\/p>\n
\u201cPatrol officers spent a little bit of time trying to call him out, trying to see if we could get him to come out to check on him,\u201d said Captain Kenneth Campbell with the Houston Police Department Tactical Operations.<\/p>\n
HPD\u2019s SWAT team was called to the scene.<\/p>\n
The man surrendered at about 5 a.m. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur negotiators were able to get him to come out peacefully, no further incident occurred,\u201d said Campbell.<\/p>\n
Guests were evacuated during the standoff but were allowed back inside their rooms once the man was taken into custody.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hotel staff is in the process of cleaning up the hotel and vacuuming up a lot of water,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The man was taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n
It was unclear what charges he would face.<\/p>\n
