SIOUX CITY POLICE WERE CALLED TO 2513 SOUTH STEELE JUST AFTER 7PM FOR A DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE THAT POSSIBLY INVOLVED A MAN WITH A GUN.
SGT. JEREMY MCCLURE SAYS THE SUSPECT, 46 YEAR OLD RANDY JONES, HAD ALLEGEDLY THREATENED HIS 81 YEAR OLD MOTHER DURING A DISPUTE.
JONES REFUSED TO COME OUT OF THE HOUSE AND THE POLICE SWAT TEAM AND NEGOTIATORS WERE SUMMONED TO THE SCENE.
