The Appleton Police Department has arrested a man and a woman from a standoff involving a SWAT team that started Thursday night on West Frances Street in Appleton.
Police say the woman was confined on two outstanding warrants and the man was confined on a felony parole violation. Police expect both suspects to face more charges.
Police say the woman left the residence and was taken into custody after gas munitions were deployed into the residence. The man was taken into custody at around 5:45 a.m. Friday by the Winnebago County SWAT team who was conducting a search of the upper level of the residence. During the search of the residence investigators did find a loaded handgun.
Police say officers learned that both individuals had shot up heroin just before the SWAT team arrived. Police say the area will remain closed off to the public while officers continue to search and process the scene.
The Winnebago and Outagamie County SWAT teams, the Outagamie County Communication Center and the APD Communication Specialists all assisted in this case.
