At approximately 2:10 a.m., Monday, October 11, Duluth Police Officers responded to the 200 block of East Second Street on a report of a domestic. Upon arrival, officers spoke with a woman that had her car window broken by a male acquaintance. Further investigation revealed that 41-year-old Michael Newberry of Duluth was the individual who broke the window. After breaking the window, Newberry also made threats to the woman. Officers attempted to speak to Newberry who then barricaded himself in his apartment building.
Based on the containment of the suspect in his apartment, officers did not immediately identify a threat to the general public and were able to notify residents in adjoining apartments of the evolving incident.
Newberry continued to be uncooperative with officers and after hours of negotiating with our Crisis Negotiation Team, Newberry was taken into custody around 9:30 a.m. Officers on scene did use less-lethal tactics to apprehend Newberry. He was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries and was later booked at the St. Louis County Jail on pending charges of domestic assault, threats of violence, and criminal damage to property.
