A Chicago man who barricaded himself with a knife inside a McKinley Park home prompting an hours-long SWAT response was charged with domestic battery, according to Chicago police.
Jeremy Lewis, 38, was arrested around 11:20 p.m. Thursday and was taken to Holy Cross Hospital for evaluation, Chicago police said.
Lewis was expected to appear in court later Friday, charged with misdemeanor domestic battery.
Officers responded just after 7 p.m. Thursday to a home in the 2300 block of West Pershing Road after Lewis was allegedly arguing with a 70-year-old woman whom he knows, police said.
The woman was able to safely exit the building with help from officers, police said.
A SWAT team responded after Lewis barricaded himself inside, officials said.
No injuries were reported.
