NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk police said a barricade situation is over and a man was taken in custody on Thursday.
Police said the situation started sometime after 4 a.m. in the 6400 block of Wellington Street. Norfolk police said they received reports of a woman being held against her will.
When officers arrived on the scene, they attempted to make contact with the occupants of the residence but they were unsuccessful. So members of the Norfolk police Hostage/Crisis Negotiation Team and Special Operations Team had to step in.
After several hours, the woman was able to leave the home and negotiators were able to convince the suspect, 41-year-old Dominque D. Brown, to surrender.
Brown was taken into custody without incident. No injuries were reported.
Brown has been charged with one count of Abduction. Brown also had an outstanding warrant for Third Offense Domestic Assault at the time of this event.
Brown is currently being held in the Norfolk City Jail without bond.
The roadway was closed down for a period of time while officers investigated. The road has since been reopened.
