PROVO, Utah — The Provo Police Department responded to a motel where a man barricaded himself inside a room Monday afternoon.
Police were called to the location at 40 W. 300 South at approximately 3:30 p.m.
In an update provided later Monday evening, officials said a court constable was delivering eviction papers to the man in the room. The constable reportedly saw a gun inside and heard gunshots while attempting to serve the papers. That's when police were called in, and a multi-agency negotiation and SWAT operation was conducted.
Police negotiated with the man and evacuated nearby rooms to give officers space during the situation.
The suspect was taken into custody and taken to a hospital for evaluation.
