Around eight o'clock on Thursday night SWAT responded to Hunters Chase Apartments after a 25-year-old man barricaded himself in the home.
A woman told police that she felt threatened by her ex-boyfriend after an argument.
She mentioned that he owned multiple weapons that may have possibly been in the apartment.
