UPDATE: 3:19pm – Subject detained. No injuries.
Residents of several homes off Reliez Station Road in Lafayette were advised to shelter in place Monday as police attempted to negotiate with a subject threatening self-harm inside a residence on Roxanne Lane.
Persons living in the initial blocks of Beechwood Drive and Roxanne Lane were advised not to venture outdoors as the occupant held heavily armed police at bay, threatening to set fire to the residence.
Police, hampered by the area’s hilly terrain, managed to make contact with the person inside the home and were attempting to negotiate his surrender.
That standoff, still underway at 12:37 pm, started just before 11 a.m.
Is reliez open?
It is at this time 12:55pm
Yes
So many police!!!!
Thanks for those alerts – we would have walked right into this.
Certainly…
Backstory?
There are four houses on Roxane Lane, and one is for sale.
Pretty much always a backstory…
I would have had it over in thirty minutes.

What, you’d take him out to prevent him from harming himself?
No you wouldn’t, studwannabe. Your violent fantasies might turn you on but nothing works that way in reality. Nor should it. Ever.
A cartoon superhero in your own imagination. Fully armed.
It was my driveway blocked off and NO ONE told me “shelter in place”. I walked out and comforted mom. Went back into my house to continue working. I found out here later!!!!
Not here to sell you anything but we have a Flash Alert service that sends text alerts of these things to your phone when they happen.
Thousands of folks seem to like getting them!

The son threatened or tried to burn down the house
That is not what happened.
Sounds like you have something to say.
