NACOGDOCHES, Texas — A man has been arrested after he barricaded himself in his home and caused an East Texas elementary school to go on lockdown.
The suspect has been identified as Brandon Rogers, 40, of Nacogdoches.
According to the Nacogdoches Police Department, around 10:30 a.m., officers responded to a residence in the 2300 block of Stewart St. to serve felony warrants for Felony Evading in a vehicle from an incident that occurred in Nacogdoches on August 10 during a shoplifting investigation.
Once the suspect was taken into custody, he was taken to Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital for evaluation and then to the Nacogdoches County Jail. Further charges may be forthcoming.
"At this time our SWAT Team along with negotiators are on scene," the NPD said in a statement. "We are communicating with the suspect attempting to get him to surrender."
As per protocol, police asked Carpenter Elementary to go on lockdown out of an abundance of caution. Anyone living in the area is asked to stay at home and not come to the scene.
