New details shared about Lakeville shelter-in-place arrest

The Lakeville Police Department (LPD) has shared new details about Thursday’s incident, which prompted a shelter-in-place order and led to the arrest of one suspect.

LPD said they were responding to an active domestic situation inside a moving vehicle Thursday morning, which led them to the Brackett’s Crossing Country Club. Upon arriving, officers said they were able to locate the suspect’s vehicle and the reported victim. According to the information LPD was given, the suspect had entered the building and was potentially armed. Authorities said their initial response was to evacuate the workers and customers from the building and locate the suspect.

The decision to issue a shelter-place order was made due to the suspect reportedly being in possession of a firearm, the number of bystanders near the country club, and the size of the area that needed to be searched. Officers also decided to call in other law enforcement agencies, including SWAT, to assist with their investigation.

After clearing all buildings at Brackett’s Crossing, it was determined the suspect was no longer on the premises. Authorities lifted the shelter-in-place order around 11:46 a.m. as they continued to investigate. Officers then responded to a tip and located the 27-year-old male suspect in 18000 block of Lansford Path.

The suspect complied with police commands and was taken into custody without incident. LPD said no firearm was found on his person, nor had they located a firearm in the immediate vicinity of the suspect. LPD did not report if any charges had been made against the suspect.
