LAKE CITY, Minn. (KWNO)-A 25-year-old man was arrested following a brief standoff in Lake City over the weekend.
The Lake City Police Department says Tyler Ruiz was brought into custody on suspicion of terroristic threats and domestic assault. Officers were called to a Lake City residence on the report of a male acting erratic and reported finding a woman who had been assaulted outside of the house while Ruiz was still inside the home.
Police say Ruiz refused to come out of the home and shouted threats and obscenities at officers. Police issued a code red for the immediate area and advised residents to stay in their homes during the standoff.
Authorities say Ruiz was not armed and alone in the home. Officers cleared the area after several unsuccessful attempts to get Ruiz to surrender.
About three hours later police say Ruiz was reported to be in the street and yelling threats and obscenities. Officers returned to the area and arrested Ruiz with the help of a K-9.
Ruiz was taken to the Wabasha County Jail. The State Patrol and Wabasha County Sheriff’s Office assisted Lake City Police.
