Hours long armed standoff in Flagstaff ends in arrest

An armed standoff Tuesday morning in Flagstaff ended with the arrest of 26-year old Spencer William Bird. Coconino County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a domestic violence incident at a home in Kachina Village. Officials say a female victim and her father claimed Bird had become aggressive and assaulted the female after meth had been discovered in his possession. The victims fled and Coconino County Sheriff’s deputies, probation officers and Flagstaff Police Joint Tactical Operations Negotiators spent several hours attempting to get Bird to come out of the home. Officials say a chemical irritant was introduced into the home, and Bird exited and surrendered.  He was booked into the Coconino County Jail. Surrounding neighbors were evacuated and two streets were closed during the incident.
