Port Huron man arrested after allegedly pulling gun on another person, refusing to leave home

A Port Huron man was arrested after he allegedly pulled a gun on another person and refused to come out of his home.

Police responded to the 3100 block of Electric Avenue shortly before 8:30 p.m. Wednesday for a report of a fight. The caller also said the man pulled a gun on him and fled, Port Huron Police Assistant Chief Brian Kerrigan said.

The suspect was located at a home in the same block in the Village Manor apartments. Officers set a perimeter around the home and ordered him to come out of the residence, but he refused, prompting officers to negotiate with the man for about two hours on the phone, Kerrigan said.

Kerrigan said the man's family was inside the home with him but they were not being held hostage.

The 28-year-old Port Huron man eventually exited the home and was arrested. He is lodged at the St. Clair County jail and is facing charges of felonious assault, felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition and carrying a concealed weapon, Kerrigan said.

There were no injuries.

A search warrant was executed on the suspect's vehicle after his arrest and a firearm and ammunition was recovered, Kerrigan said.
