The NOPD has arrested 30-year old Briston Hines, Jr., after an hours long stand-off in which a Swat Roll was declared this morning (July 25, 2023).
Members of NOPD's Violent Offender Warrant Squad 'Vows', and U.S. Marshals attempted to serve warrants on Hines this morning when he barricaded himself inside a home in the 7000 block of Edgefield Drive. A Swat Roll was declared at 6:39 a.m.
The subject later relocated to the roof of the home, where he remained for several hours.
At about 10:24 a.m., NOPD negotiators were able to talk Hines down and he surrendered without incident.
Hines was transported to the Orleans Parish Justice Center where he was booked on one charge of domestic abuse battery and one charge of simple assault.
There were no injuries reported in this incident.
