A man remained in custody Wednesday after a nearly two-and-a-half standoff with a Lubbock SWAT Team stemming from a reported assault the day before at a central Lubbock motel.

According to Lubbock police, officers responded at 12:08 p.m. to a report of a burglary in progress at a motel in the 900 block of 66th Street.

Through the initial course of the investigation, it appears that Joe Perez, 33, attempted to assault a motel employee with a piece of glass and then barricaded himself in a motel room.

According to LPD, a Lubbock SWAT Negotiator callout was initiated at 12:51 p.m. After a chemical agent was deployed, Perez came out and was safely taken into custody at 2:34 p.m.

He was taken to the Lubbock County Detention Center, where he was charged with aggravated assault. According to police, no injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing.
