UPDATE | Bellevue police have arrested the 48-year-old man without incident. Roads have been reopened to traffic.

Original story is below.

A 48-year-old man has barricaded himself inside a home in East Bellevue on Wednesday morning and is locked in a standoff with police.

Police received a call from the man’s mother at 6:18 a.m. that he had come to the house on 174th Avenue Northeast off Northup Way, said Bellevue Police spokeswoman Officer Carla Iafrate. According to neighbors, the man had a no contact order with his mother, and he had just been released from jail the night before.

Police closed the road as they attempted to coax the man out of the home. Police said they were in no hurry because they wanted to ensure the situation ended peacefully.

“Patience is safety; there’s no need to rush in,” Iafrate said.

The man’s mother got out of the home, and she was waiting outside for the resolution of the standoff.

Members of a SWAT team, multiple police units and a negotiator were on the scene. Iafrate said much of it was precautionary, as the man had a history with police. Approximately five hours after the standoff began, police had several officers stationed outside the home with a mobile command truck. Every few minutes they told the suspect to come outside as his mother wanted to return home.

Iafrate said the man did not have any known firearms on him.

Neighbors said this wasn’t the first time the man had barricaded himself inside his mother’s home.

Rod Benedict, who lives just down the street, said he has known the suspect since middle school. He said the man suffered a debilitating back injury approximately 10 years ago as a construction worker. The injury cost him his job and livelihood, and it also introduced him to painkillers. Since that time, Benedict said, the man has changed greatly.

“He was just a normal guy until he got hurt,” Benedict said. “He’s just been dealing with a lot of pain for most of his life.”
