A man is locked in a standoff in Bozeman Thursday night after threatening Gallatin County law enforcement attempting to serve a protection order, according to Gallatin County Sheriff Dan Springer.
Gallatin Valley SWAT members arrived at the residence on South Willson Avenue near the Montana State University campus around 4:30 p.m. and made contact with the man, who pepper-sprayed a deputy, brandished a sword-like weapon and barricaded himself inside, according to a release from Springer.
The man displayed a weapon and threatened the deputies during the ordeal.
Springer said in the release that in recent weeks, the man had threatened his roommate and neighbors, prompting multiple law-enforcement visits.
Springer said law enforcement will remain on the scene until the situation is resolved.
