Update: Man barricaded in vehicle taken into custody at River Walk

After a standoff that lasted several hours, the Flower Mound Police Department took a man into custody near the River Walk on Tuesday evening.

At 4:47 p.m., another law enforcement agency notified FMPD that an intoxicated man, possibly armed and in crisis, was traveling into Flower Mound, according to a news release from the department. Flower Mound police located him at a home on Kipling Drive where there is an active protective order against him.

The man then led police on a slow speed pursuit to near the Home2 Suites hotel, 4231 River Walk Drive. The man stayed barricaded in his vehicle for several hours as FMPD’s crisis negotiation team tried to communicate with him and resolve the issue, according to a police spokesman. Around 8 p.m., he was taken into custody without further incident. Police are investigating the incident and charges are pending.
