Suspect taken into custody after standoff at west Houston apartment complex

A suspect was taken into custody after a standoff with police at an apartment complex in west Houston on Tuesday night.

Police responded to the scene in the 1400 block of Lakeside Estates on a report that a male had kicked in the door of an apartment while a family was inside. 

Police say the family did not know the man and the family reported that the man was acting irrationally and had a pistol in his hand. They were all able to get out and call police.

When police arrived, they made verbal contact with the man barricaded in the apartment, but officers say he was irrational and wouldn't say why he was in the apartment. An officer reported seeing the man with a pistol, so police maintained the perimeter and waited for SWAT.

SWAT made contact with the suspect and he surrendered by walking out the front door. 

Police say the man is facing criminal mischief and criminal trespass charges.
