Update: Not long after Boise police send Code Red Alert, suspect is apprehended
Boise police sent out a Code Red Alert early Wednesday evening while trying to make contact with a suspect who had an outstanding arrest warrant, asking residents to avoid a neighborhood or shelter in place.
Not long after, the person was “safely taken into custody,” Boise Police Department spokesperson Haley Kramer told the Idaho Statesman.
BPD’s Crisis Negotiation Team and Special Operations Team were at the scene near Allumbaugh Street north of Douglas Street, Kramer said. The alert went out to residents in the surrounding area, not far from the Flying Wye where Interstate 84 meets the I-184 Connector.
“(The teams) are on scene working to bring the incident to a safe resolution,” Kramer said in a text message to the Statesman shortly before the suspect was apprehended. “We are asking everyone to avoid the area. If you are unable to, please shelter in place until the situation is resolved.”
Police did not say what the warrant was.
