| VENICE STAND-OFF ENDS WITH PEACEFUL ARREST |
|
WENGNews writes, "VENICE POLICE WERE CALLED OUT TO AN APARTMENT LAST NIGHT, WHERE A MAN WAS THREATENING TO SHOOT NEIGHBORS. OFFICERS RESPONDED TO THE MIAMI AVENUE APARTMENT, AND TRIED TO CONTACT THE MAN IN THE APARTMENT, 52 YEAR OLD MICHAEL HAYES, BUT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AT FIRST. THEN 911 OPERATORS RECEIVED A CALL FROM HAYES, WHO THREATENED TO SHOOT ANYONE, INCLUDING POLICE OFFICERS, WHO CAME TO HIS APARTMENT. VENICE POLICE CAPTAIN TOM McNULTY TELLS US THAT IT WAS A COOPERATIVE EFFORT WITH THEIR OFFICERS AND THE SARASOTA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE TO RESOLVE THIS. McNULTY, WHO IS THE DEPARTMENT’S HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR, WAS VERY PROUD OF HIS OFFICERS, AND SAW THE FRUITS OF THE MANY HOURS OF TRAINING. THE ENTIRE INCIDENT TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR. HAYES WAS CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF FELONY AGGRAVATED ASSAULT. HE IS BEING HELD WITHOUT BOND IN THE SARASOTA COUNTY JAIL."
