Domestic Dispute Turns into Police Standoff

A man who had just been released from a veteran's hospital held police at bay for about two hours last night at the Silver Rock Apartments on Camino Villa near Bandera Rd.  The man's estranged wife called police at about 8:00 after he entered the woman's home in violation of a restraining order, according to press reports.  The woman left the residence unharmed, but it took a SWAT team and non-lethal bean bag pellets to subdue the man. 

During the standoff the man threw a variety of objects at officers including a failed Molotov cocktail.  He was charged with assault on a police officer, burglary, and violation of a protective order.  See details at KSAT12 and News4.
