Suspect in Northwest Jacksonville SWAT situation surrenders peacefully

Police were originally called to a home in the 4200 block of Trout River Boulevard to serve an arrest warrant for a man wanted for probation violation, JSO said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An hours-long standoff in Northwest Jacksonville ended after the suspect surrendered peacefully to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

At about 6 p.m. the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrived at a home in the 4200 block of Trout River Boulevard to serve an arrest warrant, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

The male suspect was wanted for a probation violation outside of Florida, JSO said.

JSO later called in a SWAT unit and negotiator team to help persuade the suspect to come out of the home. After about five hours, the suspect peacefully surrendered to police at about 11 p.m., JSO said. No one was injured in the incident.

Investigators believe there was no one else inside the home during the standoff.

The JSO took the suspect to the Duval County Jail on both local and outside charges, police said. However, JSO did not specify what charges the suspect will face in Duval County.

A neighbor told First Coast News that he was not allowed to go to his home for three hours as JSO had most of the area surrounded the home blocked off for several blocks.
