NORFOLK, Va. – A man is in custody after a barricade situation in Norfolk.
Around 1:10 a.m. Norfolk police responded to a report of a woman being held against her will at a residence in the 6400 block of Wellington Street.
When police arrived on-scene, they attempted to make contact with the occupants of the residence but were unsuccessful. As a result, members of the Norfolk police Hostage/Crisis Negotiation Team and Special Operations Team responded to the location.
