HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A SWAT standoff at a northside Houston apartment ended after officers broke a window and flew a drone into the building, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The Houston Police Department said a woman called 911 on Monday afternoon to report that her boyfriend was holding her against her will in an apartment on Crosstimbers near Fulton.<\/p>\n
Authorities said they arrived at about 2:30 p.m. and encountered the boyfriend’s mother, who told officers no one else was inside.<\/p>\n
Despite the mother’s claim, officers said they learned the boyfriend was inside the apartment, holding his girlfriend against her will.<\/p>\n
Police said they also learned the man had an open felony warrant for aggravated assault against the same woman from the previous week and had threatened her with a gun.<\/p>\n
HPD Lt. Larry Crowson said officers ordered the suspect to come outside, but when he refused, they called SWAT.<\/p>\n
SWAT also ordered the suspect to come out, but when he refused again, they broke a window and flew a drone into the apartment.<\/p>\n
That’s when the suspect came outside, police said. Officers said they tased the man after he became combative.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the suspect was hospitalized for taser-related injuries, but is expected to be OK. No one else was injured during the incident, police said.<\/p>\n
