MOSES LAKE  - The Moses Lake Regional Tactical Response Team surrounded a house after an armed man threatened to shoot any law enforcement who came inside the house on Sept. 21.

Officers were dispatched to a home on Road Three Southeast at 8:30 a.m., according to Grant County Chief Deputy Courtney Conklin

Justin Shahan, 35, reportedly became upset when he could not find a computer device and suspected that his stepson took it and hid it from him, said Conklin.

Shahan was allegedly intoxicated and threatened to kill his stepson if he did not give the device back. Conklin said Shahan would not let his stepson leave until he returned the item.

After several hours, the stepson was able to get out of the house by jumping out of a window, according to Conklin. He ran to the Grant County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies arrived and surrounded the area. When Shahan reportedly refused to come out, the tactical response team was enlisted, said Conklin.

A tactical response team negotiator talked to Shahan through a cellphone.

Shahan voluntarily surrendered.

He was arrested and booked into jail for felony harassment, unlawful imprisonment and malicious mischief, according to Conklin.
