Thursday's "shelter-in-place" for the City of Bartlett was due to a suspect barricading himself in a home as officials tried to serve him an arrest warrant, the Williamson County Sheriff's Office revealed.
The sheriff's office said around 2 p.m., the US Marshal's Fugitive Task Force tried to arrest a suspect in the city because he was wanted on several felony arrests. When they tried to arrest him, he barricaded himself in a home near the intersection of Jackson and South Brune Streets.
As a precaution to residents, the City of Bartlett advised residents shelter in place as they tried to arrest him. It also included schools, as Bartlett ISD revealed via Facebook that their schools were on a "secure order" lockdown.
Around 5 p.m., authorities were able to take the suspect into custody, WCSO said. The "shelter-in-place" order and school lockdowns were lifted shortly after.
