FORT LAUDERDALE – A fourteen-hour stand-off at a Hollywood home came to an end with a fire and one person in custody.
According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, it all started Wednesday when detectives were following up on an investigation and tried to make contact with a man at the home in the 2700 block of Dewey Street.
The man reportedly refused to leave and threatened to hurt himself and others.
Members from BSO’s Threat Management Unit, Hollywood police, and Hollywood SWAT were called in to assist.
Early Thursday morning, neighbors said the man was removed from the home, but not before a fire was started on the roof. They said at one point during the stand-off, the man started throwing Molotov cocktails at officers.
The man removed from the home was taken to the hospital, his name has not been released.
