Date: September 10, 2020
Incident Type: SWAT
Location: Zone 6

Police responded to a 9-1-1 call for dispute on the 900 block of Wilhem Street around 9:10 p.m.

When Zone 6 officers arrived, they were met by an adult male who stated his father assaulted him with a knife. Officers observed cuts on the victims arm and chest.

The victim was checked by medics, but refused treatment.

The suspect barricaded himself inside of the home shortly after officers arrived.
