The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office took into custody over the weekend an individual who reportedly had barricaded himself in the National Guard Armory in Chandler.
Sgt. Aaron Bennett, Public Information Officer for the Sheriff’s Office, said that at approximately 8:46 a..m. Saturday the Chandler Police Department received a call from an individual with the National Guard Armory in Chandler of an individual for an attempt to locate out of Oklahoma City.
“The Armory had been contacted earlier by the Oklahoma City Police Department. At that time, the Chandler Police Department located the vehicle that was part of the BOLO and requested the assistance of the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office,” Bennett noted.
“We then activated our Special Operations Team and made entry into the armory, taking one person into custody who was transported to a local hospital,” Bennett said.
“We had probably about a dozen of our guys there along with Chandler Po- lice Department and Wellston Police Department,” Bennett said.
He pointed out, “This is an ongoing investigation with our agency and the Oklahoma City Police Department.”
The individual’s name has not been released.
Bennett indicated on Tuesday, he didn’t know where the individual was from and that he was not currently in the Lincoln County jail and said he was unsure if he was still in the hospital.
The individual hasn’t been charged in Lincoln County with anything yet, he said.
