Negotiators Successfully End Swat Standoff

CHATTANOOGA, TN. – The Chattanooga Police Department’s Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team and Hostage Negotiation Team (HNT) Friday night successfully ended a standoff on Bunch Street with no one getting hurt.

Officers were trying to serve an outstanding carjacking warrant on 40-year-old Teezo Boyd at a residence in the 5700 block of Bunch Street just after 7:00 last night when Boyd slammed the door and refused orders to come out of the house. SWAT and HNT were called and, after a three-hour standoff, successfully convinced Boyd to exit.

Boyd was taken into custody for his outstanding warrant and booked at the Hamilton County Jail.
