LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — A man was taken into custody Tuesday with the help of a K-9 after a standoff with law enforcement in Larimer County that lasted five hours.
Jared Gassen, 38, was taken into custody after the standoff.
The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to a domestic violence call at 10:43 a.m. An adult woman had allegedly been held in a house for over a day and assaulted by Gassen.
She was able to escape after deputies arrived and was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries.
Gassen then barricaded himself in the home and refused to exit, LCSO said.
Several less-lethal methods to get Gassen out of the home were tried, but he kept refusing commands.
He was taken into custody at 4:02 p.m. with help from a K-9.
Factors in the case are being investigated, including drug use.
