LYNNWOOD, Wash. — A 48-year-old man was taken into custody after threatening his parents at a Lynnwood home Saturday afternoon, police said.

The incident happened around 1 p.m. at a home in the 6700 block of 190^th Southwest.

Police received a call about a man who threatened his parents and demanded money.

The man then barricaded himself inside of the home, and refused to come out for several hours.

A SWAT team arrived at the scene, but the man did not comply with officers. A K9 unit was then deployed.

According to police, the man tried to sneak out of the house, but was confronted by police.
