After receiving reports that the suspect, 33-year-old Shelton Guevera, had fled from the home prior to their arrival, deputies soon spotted him returning to the residence where they say then barricaded himself inside.

Guevera finally surrendered after about an hour negotiations and deputies recovered a pistol from the home after receiving a search warrant for the premises.

Sheriff's officials say Guevera is prohibited from possessing firearms.

He was arrested and booked into the Grant County Jail for investigation of second-degree assault (domestic violence) and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.
