A SWAT standoff in Arlington, Texas, resulted in the arrest of 38-year-old Sinclair Mann on Saturday night after he was suspected of burglarizing a vehicle and stealing items, including a firearm.
Police responded to a call on Hidden Oaks Lane regarding a vehicle burglary. The vehicle owner provided surveillance footage showing a suspect breaking into the car and taking various items, including a gun.
Officers tracked the suspect to a residence on Homestead Court, about two miles away. After speaking with the suspect’s relatives, they confirmed that Mann was inside the home but refused to come out.
