EXCLUSIVE: Man in Custody After 3-Hour Standoff with Lakewood SWAT Team [VIDEO & PHOTOS]

A three-hour standoff with Lakewood’s SWAT team this morning ended with a man taken into custody, TLS has learned.

The incident began around 12:30 AM when police were called to an apartment in the south end of Lakewood for reports of a man inside an apartment illegally.

Upon arrival, the man barricaded himself inside the apartment, prompting Lakewood’s SRT unit to respond.

After approximately three hours in 22-degree snowy weather, police managed to safely talk the man into giving himself up and he was taken into custody without further incident.

I’ll try this again since my first reply didn’t make it. It is a blessing that men and women are putting their lives in danger to protect people who don’t know them and often don’t respect or support then. Being paid…the correct spelling…does not lessen the impact of that blessing.

Maybe get off the internet and open up an orthodox Jewish Sefer (book) , you are welcome to go through 10,000 Jewish books and you will see very clearly by every single Rabbi that getting paid has nothing to do with “Chessed”.
If President Trump was in charge of this website, your comment would be classified as a “fake comment”.

It seems that at 22 degrees, everything was kept cool even without ice.
