Texarkana, Texas - The suspect in a three-hour standoff at a Richmond Road apartment complex has been booked into the Bi-State jail on numerous charges.
Thomas Earl King Jr., 23, was booked into the Bi-State jail about 11:p.m. Thursday, said Texarkana,Texas Police spokesman Shawn Vaughn. He was booked after a medical exam because of his exposure to pepper spray and tear gas.
No additional charges have been added from Thursday's incident as of Friday. King also faces charges from his four outstanding warrants.
Bond was set Friday morning at $100,000 for the aggravated robbery charge, $10,000 for evading detention, $10,000 for possession of a controlled substance, and $5,000 for assault with bodily injury (family violence).
The incident started about 1:32 p.m. Thursday when King allegedly ran from Texarkana Arkansas Police Department officers near a pawn shop on North State Line Avenue.
Texas-side police received information King was in a unit at Ridgewood Apartments, 1410 Richmond Road, about 2:05 p.m., said Vaughn.
SWAT was called because other people were in the apartment and were not answering.
"We weren't sure if they were being held involuntarily. We had to make sure they were OK," Vaughn said Thursday.
The adults and children came out of the apartment about 5:30 p.m.
The adults who came out of the apartment told police they had put King in an air conditioning duct to hide.
A robot was put into the apartment to determine King's whereabouts and found the the vent was open.
King, however, was still not accounted for.
SWAT officials put King's grandmother and father on a megaphone to talk him into coming out but received no response.
Officers deployed pepper spray and two rounds of tear gas in the apartment and King came out of the apartment about five minutes later and was taken into custody.
No one was injured. Several other apartments in the complex were evacuated during the standoff.
