Individual charged after hours long standoff in Everett Wednesday

A suspect was charged Thursday after an hours long standoff with law enforcement in Everett Wednesday evening.

Luis Fernando Rivas Martinez was charged with breaking and entering with intent to commit felony assault and battery, and making threats with a firearm, Everett police said in a statement on Facebook.

Martinez was detained just after 10 p.m. Wednesday by the regional North Metro SWAT team, police said.

Martinez had barricaded himself at 14 Ferry St. and had made threats to hurt another individual, according to police.

Everett police, SWAT and crisis negotiators were at the scene for at least three hours.

Police had previously warned residents to avoid Ferry Street, as Martinez was believed to be armed and dangerous.

No further information was released.
