Upon arrival, two occupants in the home came out but the subject, identified as 27-year-old Alexander V.Dekhtiar failed to do so and refused to interact with the officers, prompting negotiators to be brought in. For two hours that team was unable to interact with the suspect and he barricaded himself in the dwelling.

A K9 team consisting of K9 Rylin and his handler were brought in and soon K9 Rylin was sent into thee house and soon located Dekhtiar was found in a crawlspace.
