Hammond police were called out to a domestic violence scene where a local man had barricaded himself inside the home.
A spokesperson said that the standoff ended without conflict through police negotiations.
32 YO James Solomon was taken into custody and booked at the Hammond City Jail for everything that led up to his negotiations with police for several hours on Whip Street in the Holly Gardens Subdivision.
HPD’s spokesperson said that Solomon physically attacked his wife earlier before she made it out of the home with their kids. She immediately called 9-1-1 and officers responded shortly after.
After arrival, Solomon barricaded himself inside of the home alone while HPD’s negotiation team began to engage with the suspect as SWAT teams stood on standby.
