AURORA | Police issued an order for residents in the vicinity west of the Fitzsimons hospital campus to shelter in place for over an hour as SWAT officers attempted to arrest an man wanted on felony assault charges.
The man, later identified as Alfredo Jaquez, 40, who lives in the area, was arrested without further incident, police said. He was wanted on a felony menacing warrant out of Adams County, police said.
“Officers have been in contact with the suspect since arriving at the scene,” police said in a social media post at about 9:15 p.m., about an hour after first issuing the order to stay inside. “The suspect is not complying with orders to exit the residence. Crisis negotiators are in contact trying to coordinate his surrender.”
About 10 minutes later, Jaquez was arrested, police said.
He was taken into custody without incident,” police said in a social media post.
The stay-inside order affected residents living between Nome and Moline streets, between East 17th and East 19th avenues.
The order was first issued at abut 8:15 p.m.
“Residents in the area, for your safety please stay in your homes and away from doors and windows,” police said in a social media post.
