Maui police responded to a report of abuse at a home in Kihei on Monday, and a man at the home barricaded himself inside one of the bathrooms, leading to an hourslong standoff.
According to information provided by police, officers responded at about 8:24 a.m. to a home on Anapa Place for a report of abuse involving a family or household member.
Police said that upon officers’ arrival, they found a 41-year-old man from Wailuku inside a bedroom at the home and discovered he had three warrants for his arrest.
The man then allegedly fled into an attached bathroom, barricaded himself inside and made statements indicating he was armed with a knife and threatened self-harm.
Officers established a perimeter around the residence, and the Maui Police Department’s Special Response Team and Hostage Negotiation Team were brought in to try to defuse the situation.
