LINCOLN, Neb. -- A 29-year-old fugitive man was found in an apartment and refused to come out for two hours.
The Metro Fugitive Task Force said they found out 29-year-old Trevaughn Brown in an apartment at 4301 N. 24th St. around 7: 45 a.m. on Monday.
Officials said Brown was convicted in 2011 in Douglas County for first-degree assault and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony. He was reportedly wanted for a parole violation and was known to have been in possession of a weapon two months ago.
Members of the Task Force said they tried to get Brown to open the apartment door or come outside for two hours. The nearby Campbell Elementary and a child care facility were put on lock down during this time.
According to authorities, the Sheriff's Office Tactical Response Unit helped due to the possibility that Brown was armed and had a violent criminal past. Brown finally came out of the apartment and arrested with no further issue around 11:10 a.m.
