EAGLE, Idaho — A 33-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday evening after an eight-hour standoff with Eagle Police. The standoff ended when a K9 and members of a SWAT team went into his apartment and took him into custody.
Dustin Rosenbaum is charged with one count of domestic assault in the presence of a child and one count of resisting arrest, both felonies.
The dispute with Rosenbaum and police began at his apartment on Monday morning when police were called to respond to a report of a domestic fight.
When officers arrived at 8 a.m., they were greeted by two people who claimed Rosenbaum threatened them with a pipe. They said Rosenbaum was inside the apartment and claimed he had a knife and possibly a gun, might be suicidal and refused to leave.
Officers removed the two people from the apartment and developed a safety plan for them, which included support from the Ada County Sheriff's Office Victim/Witness Unit. Once the two people were safe, officers monitored the apartment to see if Rosenbaum would leave.
The plan was to take Rosenbaum into custody in the event he left the apartment, but he did not.
At 9 a.m. on Tuesday, officers worked with another person to attempt to get Rosenbaum out of the apartment. He refused to leave, forcing officers to enter into a standoff with him.
Eagle Police spent approximately eight hours on Tuesday trying to convince Rosenbaum to leave the apartment and turn himself in. Officers said he was armed with a knife and refused to leave.
Just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, the ACSO SWAT Team and a K9 unit entered Rosenbaum's apartment and found him in a bathroom holding a knife to himself. He continued to refuse to go into custody.
Officers said the K9 dog entered the bathroom and bit Rosenbaum while a deputy fired and hit him with a less-lethal sponge round. Rosenbaum dropped the knife at that moment and was taken into custody.
He was then treated by paramedics and taken to a nearby hospital for a medical examination.
At that point, Rosenbaum dropped the knife and deputies were able to take him into custody. Rosenbaum did not threaten deputies with the knife. He was treated by paramedics and then taken to a local hospital for a medical exam.
Rosenbaum will be booked into Ada County Jail after he is cleared at the hospital. He will likely make his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon.
