HICKORY, N.C. — Multiple law enforcement agencies were involved in a barricaded standoff in the parking lot of a Hickory Food Lion Monday afternoon.
The standoff lasted more than two hours in Springs Crossing.
The U.S. Marshals Service, police, and sheriff deputies were talking to someone barricaded in a car around noon.
Officials told Channel 9’s Dave Faherty the man inside the car was wanted on several outstanding warrants, including being a registered sex offender.
The man refused to leave the vehicle. Just before 1 p.m., SWAT crews pulled the doors off the car, and apprehended the suspect.
