A man was booked into Salt Lake County Jail early Saturday morning after a SWAT standoff that lasted over five hours in West Jordan.
West Jordan Police tells FOX 13 News that the incident began around 8:15 p.m. Friday night, when officers were called to reports of a domestic dispute near 5700 West Magic Vista Lane.
Once on scene, it was discovered that a man present at the scene was in violation of an active protective order. When officers attempted contact, he refused to leave the home.
SWAT was eventually called out, and after more than five hours of attempted contact, the man was eventually taken into custody without incident.
He has since been booked into Salt Lake County Jail on multiple offenses, including Violation of a Protective Order, Interference with a Peace Officer, and Intoxication.
