A Waukegan man has been arrested after he barricaded himself in his Beach Park home and refused to surrender.
It took authorities two hours of negotiations to make Brian O. Harper, 45, get out of his shelter in the 13400 block of Victoria Lane. The events occurred when a woman called 911 at about 7:20 a.m. to report a domestic dispute. When officers arrived, they noticed that the suspect has an active felony arrest warrant for driving with a revoked license in addition to a felony failure to appear arrest warrant in connection with aggravated fleeing and eluding.
The hours-long standoff ended with police hitting Harper by a stun gun and taking him into custody.
"This is another example of the dangerous job our personnel face on a daily basis," said Sheriff John Idleburg.
