Collegedale police late tonight fired tear gas into a home on Prospect Church Road and arrested a man who had been in a standoff with officers since this afternoon.
Police had been called to the scene around 2 p.m. in response to a disorderly conduct call.
A deputy was serving a civil order of protection against Reuben Braden when the suspect began threatening the officer, Detective Kat Cooper said.
Braden ran and entered a female neighbor’s home, where he made irate statements about the police, Cooper said. She said Braden threatened to harm officers by returning to his home and retrieving a firearm.
Cooper said the suspect produced a firearm and showed it to police waiting outside.
