BOISE — Boise police took Robert K. Streicher, 35, into custody after a nearly four-hour incident early Saturday morning.

A neighbor called police to an apartment complex in the 5100 block of West Morris Hill about 4:15 a.m. She reported hearing a window shatter and noises outside.

Officers arrived and found an apartment with a broken window and saw a man running away. They gave chase, and the man, later identified as ­Streicher, climbed up an awning and onto the roof of the complex.

At the same time, other officers determined there was a possibility that firearms had been taken from the apartment with the broken window.

Police set up a perimeter around the complex. After many hours in the cold, they enlisted the help of a ladder truck from the Boise Fire Department. They were able to arrest Streicher without further incident. He was taken to a hospital to be examined for any possible cold-related injuries.

Officers recovered personal items that were stolen from the apartment, but there were no firearms.

Streicher was also charged with resisting officers, a misdemeanor.
