A standoff in Sioux Falls unfolded Thursday when authorities attempted to serve a warrant to a woman in her 40s, leading to her making threats about having a weapon.
The incident prompted the closure of a section of West 12th Street, and the Sioux Falls Police Department, including a SWAT team and negotiators, is currently engaged in resolving the situation peacefully.
An adult and a child have left the residence, leaving the woman as the sole occupant.
The woman’s warrants include charges such as domestic aggravated assault, protection order violations, and possession of a controlled substance.
Authorities are urging her to surrender without incident.
