Harrison Police Assistant Chief John Cagle said a 28-year-old man was arrested early Monday morning after a standoff with police at a residence on South Sycamore.
According to an HPD daily log, a woman called about 2 a.m. Monday to report Zachary Seawright, 28, was intoxicated and trying to leave the residence with their two children. She also said he had assaulted her.
Cagle said officers began looking for the vehicle, but didn’t find it. They returned to the residence and found the vehicle was parked and unoccupied at the residence.
Cagle said officers went to the residence to check the welfare of the alleged victim and children, but Seawright refused to exit the residence. The alleged victim did leave the house and told officers Seawright was armed.
The Special Operations Team was activated and negotiators made contact with Seawright inside the residence via cell phone.
