A 45-minute SWAT standoff in Grand Forks ended with the arrest of 54-year-old Elroy Thomas. Authorities responded to an apartment complex at 1706 Continental Drive after witnesses reported seeing Thomas armed with a gun, making threats to kill people.
Law enforcement evacuated several apartments and attempted negotiations before Thomas ultimately surrendered. He was arrested on an outstanding warrant, and authorities say additional charges may follow.
The incident remains under investigation as officials work to determine the full extent of Thomas’ actions.
