The commander of the team decided to use a flash bang — a device that creates a big flash of blinding light and makes a loud noise — on the front lawn to get the man’s attention.

“It worked. He came out and saw the police,” said the chief. “I don’t believe he knew the officers were there before because it was so dark.”


They need to modernize and get some of those red and blue lights.

Reminds me of an event here in our area several years ago. Ex wife called police and told them ex husband was acting “weirdly” , had been drinking all day and had a GUN!

Swat sneaked up on house, popped a couple of flashbangs, hubbie came around corner and shined flashlight at swat, swat cut him into hamburger!

Coroner said there were no drugs or alcohol or gun on suspect.

Sounded like murder to me, but I am prejudiced!
