tim to leave the house. This indi-
vidual was uncooperative with in-
vestigators. Finally, Officers were
able to convince the two suspects
to peacefully leave the location.
They were taken into custody and
a sawed-off shotgun was recov-
ered from the location.
To safely resolved the incident re-
quired enormous resources includ-
ing officers from North, Central

port from K-9 units and the Port

ty Hotline for a purpose other than
to report a situation that the per-
son reasonably believes requires
prompt service in order to preserve
human life or property; or
(b) Allows another person to use
telephone equipment owned, rent-
ed or leased by or under the con-
trol of the person to call a 9-1-1
emergency reporting system or
the School Safety Hotline for a
purpose other than to report a sit-
uation that the other person rea-
sonably believes requires prompt
