An Albuquerque man kept SWAT busy while he hid inside his house for 15 hours only to be found inside the television cabinet.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the Albuquerque Police SWAT unit was responding to a domestic violence call Sunday.
During the standoff police lobbed flash-bang devices, dispersed tear gas and used a robot to search the house. The long wait ended when a piece of heavy equipment dumped the suspect out of the old cabinet.
Police were seen escorting a shirtless man from the residence about 1 p.m. APD spokesman Simon Drobik says that man was wanted on a felony probation violation.
Drobik says the man inside the television cabinet is facing a felony domestic violence charge and other charges.
