VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Two people are facing charges following an overnight standoff with Virginia Beach police near the Oceanfront.
The Virginia Beach Police Department said around 8:40 p.m. Monday, officers were attempting to arrest 32-year-old Trevor Crawford, who was wanted on several open warrants.
Police pulled up to Crawford's apartment in the 500 block of 18th Street in the VIBE District where they say they saw Crawford attempting to leave in what was later learned to be a stolen vehicle. Police claim Crawford ignored their commands and showed a gun in his waistband, and threatened to shoot the officers. He then went back into his apartment.
Crawford allegedly refused to come out of the apartment, and the police department's SWAT Team was brought in to attempt to negotiate.
The standoff continued until around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, when SWAT made entry into the apartment. Crawford was taken into custody without incident.
Police said Crawford is charged with assault on a law enforcement officer, obstruction of justice, threats against a law enforcement officer, and felony possession of a firearm. He was also served the five open warrants for his arrest that originally brought police out to the residence.
Additionally, 30-year-old Stephanie Davis was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice. Police said additional charges against Davis are pending.
