Police provided an update Tuesday to an hours-long standoff in Central Falls, including identifying the man they said was at the center of it.
The tense standoff played out on Tremont Street on Monday night as police tried to get a barricaded man to surrender.
That man was identified on Tuesday as 34-year-old Michael Mogayzel.
Dozens of Central Falls police officers and state troopers surrounded the home at about 4:30 p.m. Monday.
They were heard yelling for "Mike," to come outside and talk.
"On Monday at approximately 4:30, the Central Falls Police Department received a 911 call that a female was being held against her will at 106 Tremont St," said Central Falls Police Chief Anthony Roberson.
The standoff ended just after 9 p.m. when the man surrendered without incident.
Police said when officers arrived at the scene, three women ran out the back of the multifamily home.
Two of them lived there and the third was Mogayzel's girlfriend, whom police said was held against her will.
"At that time, further information from the victim established that the male had made threats to harm himself and officers if they came in for him, that he was not going back to jail," said Maj. Christopher Reed with the Central Falls Police Department.
The call would later lead to a tense hours-long standoff between the suspect and the police.
Roberson said the suspect had prior firearms charges, domestics, and prohibited weapons charges that led to them calling the Rhode Island State Police Tactical Unit.
After hours of negotiations with Mogayzel, the suspect surrendered.
He was arranged in court Tuesday on numerous felonies, including domestic kidnapping, domestic sexual assault, domestic simple assault and failure to relinquish a telephone with damage and construction officers, and disorderly conduct.
