A Warren man remained in the Trumbull County Jail early Tuesday after allegedly threatening to shoot police who were trying to arrest him the night before.

Officers went to a home on the 200 block of Dickey Avenue NW shortly before 7 p.m. Monday after learning that 38-year-old Lamar Mitchell was inside.  Mitchell was wanted for escape, violating a protection order, and traffic violations.

Police went inside the home, but quickly withdrew when they heard a voice say, “I will shoot you!”

Officers from Warren Township, State Troopers, and a Critical Response Team surrounded the home.

After a more than two-hour-long standoff, Mitchell came outside with his hands held over his head.
