Nobody was injured following an armed stand off in Fond du lac. Police were called to a residence on Sibley Street for a report that a woman and her 8 year old daughter were being held at knifepoint in their residence by the woman’s estranged boyfriend. The woman was able to leave the house with her child after the suspect had fallen asleep. This started a four and a half hour standoff which prompted a callout of the SWAT team. The SWAT team took perimeter positions and deployed the ROBOT into the residence to locate and initiate dialog with the male. The team later entered the residence and began negotiating with the subject keeping a K9 unit readily available within the residence. Eventually, the subject did comply with officer commands and was taken into custody this morning without injury to the suspect or officers on-scene. The male suspect, a 49 year old male, was held in the Fond du Lac County Jail on charges of Domestic Abuse related 2nd Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety by use of a Dangerous Weapon, False Imprisonment, and Intimidation of a Victim.
