MEDFORD, Ore. — We’ve learned more about a standoff that happened in a Medford neighborhood on Monday.
Temple Drive in northeast Medford was blocked off for hours Monday evening during the standoff. MPD says it was related to a domestic violence incident that happened earlier this month.
According to police, the suspect threatened to shoot a K-9, if the dog entered the home.
“The SWAT team got there, and our crisis negotiator folks started communicating with him. And then an hour and a half or two hours later, he exited and was arrested without incident,” said Lt. Geoff Kirkpatrick.
40-year-old Medford resident Taetuli Pine Tago is facing fourth-degree assault and domestic violence charges among others. He is currently being held in the Jackson County Jail.
