Storm Lake, IA (KICD)– A Storm Lake man is in custody following a short stand-off with police Friday morning that started as a domestic assault call.

The original report came in from a home in Emerald Park around 8:45 with the victim saying she had been struck in face multiple times and had her life threatened by 31-year-old Jesus Garcia he reportedly kept her from making contact with police by phone.

The victim then escaped the home and fled to the police department telling officers Garcia was last seen at the home while in possession of handgun.

Multiple law enforcement agencies converged on the home around 10:30 with a police negotiator making contact with Garcia and convincing him to surrender about a half hour later.

Garcia has been charged with obstructing emergency communications, domestic abuse assault and first degree harassment. He remains in the Buena Vista County Jail without bond.
