Jesus Magallan Arrested After Hours-Long Standoff In Longmont
LONGMONT, Colo. (CBS4) - Longmont Police arrested a man following an hours-long standoff and domestic incident which started on Tuesday night. Officers responded to a home on Northwestern Road after a neighbor reported several people were arguing outside of the home in question.
A second witness told police a woman was strangled by her boyfriend. When officers arrived, two women involved described injuries they received from an assault.
They say 58-year-old Jesus Magallan was inside the home, armed with a handgun. Officers learned the suspect had several felony convictions, including a felony menacing charge in Boulder County from 2012.
After nearly 10 hours of negotiating with Magallan, the Longmont SWAT team arrested him at around 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
He now faces new charges of domestic violence, second and third degree assault and possession of a weapon by a previous offender.
Police say there was no direct threat to the public during the ordeal.
