4-hour barricade at Scottsdale home ends in arrest

Posted

A 54-year-old man was arrested and booked on domestic violence charges stemming from a standoff Saturday afternoon with Scottsdale police.

Police responded to a call about 11 a.m. Dec. 6 near 70th Street and McDowell Road. A woman reported Andrew M. Shadid force his way into her home, assaulted her and threatened to ignited the house “on fire with gasoline he had allegedly poured inside the house,” according to a release.

“Shadid told the victim he would kill her and himself if police showed up.”

There was a court order prohibiting Shadid from being at the residence, police said, adding the woman was able to escape before authorities arrived.

Police attempted to contact the suspect and created a perimeter around the house.

Neighborhood roadways were blocked, and nearby homes were evacuated.

The Scottsdale SWAT team and crisis negotiators were called to assist with the barricade.

“Negotiators attempted numerous times and used different methods to establish contact with Shadid and persuade him to peacefully surrender and leave the residence. Shadid never communicated back with Scottsdale Police and never indicated any attempt to surrender,” the release stated.

At about 3:45 p.m., the SWAT team entered the home and eventually located Shadid in a bedroom. He told the SWAT team he was armed, police said.

“Following a K9 deployment and dog bite, he was safely taken into custody with minimal injuries,” the release stated.

Shadid was booked into the Scottsdale Jail after his release from a hospital and booked on charges of aggravated assault - violating a protective order, aggravated domestic violence, resisting arrest, assault, criminal damage and disorderly conduct.
