PORT ANGELES – A Port Angeles woman was arrested Thursday morning following a 6-hour standoff with police at a home near Crown Park.
The original call came in around 3:20am, saying the suspect was out of control, suicidal, had a knife to her own throat, was threatening to light herself on fire, and had attacked and strangled a victim.
Police were later told the woman had a handgun, had charged the victim with a knife, and had lit items on fire.
Arriving officers confirmed the victim was out of the house with an injured neck and the woman was alone inside.
Shortly after 9:00am, negotiators were able to resolve the standoff peacefully and the woman surrendered to police custody.
