BROKEN ARROW, Okla. — Broken Arrow Police Department took a south Broken Arrow man into custody after an hours-long standoff.
Around 11 a.m. on April 14, Broken Arrow police responded to a domestic violence call in a neighborhood near 121st and Elm.
Police identified the man as 38-year-old Joshua Lloyd on April 15.
A family member at the home told police they were threatened with a knife by a family member at their shared home.
“We made contact with our victim away from the residence," BAPD Capt. Josh McCoy said. "She was able to get out of the residence early on in this after a threat was made with a knife. Officers contacted her down the street from the residence and then we responded to the house to make contact with him.”
Officers arrived at the scene and briefly had contact with Lloyd before he went into the house.
Captain Josh McCoy with BAPD told 2 News they were not able to reestablish contact with the man after he barricaded himself in the home.
McCoy warned neighbors to stay away in case they had to use chemical agents.

Jim Rickelman lives nearby and was able to get closer and take these photos with his camera.
“I had a cup of coffee, walked out the front door and saw four or five police cars and neighbors were telling me they were up and down all the other streets," Rickelman said. “I went for a walk and took my camera and pretty much documented the whole thing.”
Broken Arrow used a flash bang grenade and broke a window down to capture the man.
“They pulled out a window and half a wall with their vehicle so it was pretty interesting,” Rickelman added.
McCoy said detectives would continue investigating any possible evidence in the home.
“I mean, this was a whole team effort from our agency that ended in, I think, the best way that it could, where we have nobody injured, and we have our suspect in custody,” he said.
Lloyd was arrested for Domestic Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, Threatening an Act of Violence, and Obstruction.
