The man who held police at bay Tuesday morning in the wake of a domestic violence call was arrested later that day.
It happened in the 500 block of West French Place, causing the closing of Lot 1 and 2. The standoff was resolved without injury.

An arrest warrant was issued at 2 p.m. Tuesday by SAPD Special Victims unit, police said.
