Anchorage police report that a barricade situation has come to an end with the suspect, 52-year-old Allan B Hernandez, in custody seven hours after the police were alerted.

At 10:30 pm on Wednesday night, police received a report that a man in the Arctic Boulevard area was brandishing a firearm and pointing it at people in the roadway.

When officers arrived in the area, they would locate the suspect in a residence a short distance away on the 900-block of Chugach Way. When located, it was reported by APD that he was alone in the residence but would not come out.
