Man arrested following stand-off situation with law enforcement in Colorado Springs Friday

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - UPDATE: A man was arrested following an hours-long stand-off with law enforcement at a Colorado Springs home on Friday.

According to an online blotter entry, members of Colorado Parole and CSPD’s Tactical Enforcement Unit located an individual wanted for parole violations who also had a domestic violence warrant in the driveway of a residence on Illinois Avenue, near Hancock and Fillmore, at around 9 a.m.

When officers approached the man, Victor Martinez, police said he fled into the home. At this point, officials contained the area using a variety of marked and unmarked vehicles and started communicating with Martinez.

After about two and a half hours, Martinez peacefully surrendered to police and was taken into custody. Officials said no citizens, suspects or officers were injured during the incident, and all acquaintances of Martinez who were in the home peacefully exited the residence when police requested.

As of Saturday morning, Martinez no longer appears to be in custody.
