A man was arrested after he barricaded himself in a home Tuesday afternoon as Hamilton County deputies tried serving a warrant, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office.
The release said narcotics and special operations personnel were attempting to serve the warrant near the 1000 block of Pineville Road.
“Upon attempting to serve the warrant, the male suspect, Matthew Siler, barricaded himself in the residence and refused to comply with lawful orders from law enforcement personnel,” Sheriff’s Office spokesman J. Matt Lea said.
Deputies were serving a warrant on a camper — parked on the property of the Pineville Road home — when they encountered a woman, according to a sworn affidavit from the Sheriff’s Office seeking Siler’s arrest.
“Detectives asked (the woman) where Siler was,” the affidavit said. “(She) stated he went into the residence moments before police arrived. Siler would not open the door for detectives.”
