Man arrested after standoff in Eagan

Neighbors were asked by police to shelter in place on Sunday.

EAGAN, Minn. — Eagan police say a man is in custody after a nine-hour standoff with officers on Sunday.

The suspect, a 33-year-old Eagan man, is currently in the Dakota County Jail pending charges, police said Monday. He's expected to make his first court appearance on Tuesday, Aug. 30 at noon.

According to police, officers responded to a house on the 4100 block of Diamond Drive in Eagan for reports of a burglary just after noon on Aug. 28.

Police said when they arrived at the address, a man barricaded himself inside.

No one else was in the home, officials said, and the man was believed by authorities to have committed a protection order violation. Court documents show the suspect violated a restraining order in Feb. 2022.

Neighbors were advised to shelter in place on Sunday afternoon. Police said the standoff ended at 9:30 p.m. when the man was taken into custody.
