According to the Summit County Sheriff's Office, the situation began Thursday at around 5:0 p.m. Deputies were called to the report of a family dispute in the area of 300 South Main Street.
While deputies were speaking with the involved parties outside of the residence, one of the individuals, an adult man, went back inside the home and refused to come out.
Due to criminal conduct that occurred prior to law enforcement's arrival, along with safety concerns, the Summit County Sheriff's Office and Park City Police joint SWAT team was called to the scene.
