GILBERT, Ariz. — Gilbert police said an "armed and dangerous suspect" has been taken into custody after he threatened a person with a gun and evaded police overnight on Monday.
Officers were called to the home near Lindsay and Germann roads for a welfare check after the caller told police that 33-year-old Paris Drake Greer had threatened someone in the home with a firearm.
Witnesses left the house when officers arrived and "confirmed the alleged threat to on-scene officers."
After police negotiators failed to get in touch with Drake Greer, the Gilbert Police Department SWAT team entered and searched the home but could not find him.
Gilbert police said Drake Greer was taken into custody without incident around 6:15 p.m. near Kyrene and Baseline roads.
Police said that Drake Greer has a "fully extraditable out-of-state warrant" for robbery charges.
Authorities said he was arrested on charges related to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, misconduct involving weapons-prohibited possessor, disorderly conduct, and threatening or intimidating.
