BA standoff leads to house fire
A 911 call triggered a police response to a Broken Arrow home about 10:30 Thursday. The caller didn’t speak, but the call taker could hear a disturbance over the open line, according to BAPD Ofcr. James Koch. He tells KRMG when officers arrived on the scene, a woman came out and said she was a kidnapping victim, and that the suspect was still inside the home. She had injuries consistent with assault, Koch added, and was taken to an area hospital. But the suspect, later identified as Joey Brashear, 56, still refused to comply with officers’ demands. So the Special Operations Team was deployed, and eventually they used CS and OC gas to try and resolve the standoff. Shortly thereafter, BAFD had to respond to the scene because the house caught fire. It’s unclear if the fire was caused by SOT, or the suspect. Even then, the suspect did not come out of the house, and at this writing investigators still don’t know his status. KRMG will update this story as new information becomes available.
