PORTSMOUTH, Va (WAVY) - Portsmouth Police have arrested a man who barricaded himself inside a home along Scott Street early Thursday morning.
Jan Clark with the Portsmouth Police Department said officers were dispatched to the 3500 block of Scott Street at 2:20 a.m. for a report of a man brandishing a firearm. Additional calls from witnesses claimed the suspect was intoxicated and threatened family members.
