Idaho Falls standoff over, man in police custody

The man who was involved in a almost seven hour standoff with Idaho Falls Police is now in custody.

Police arrested 27-year-old Rory D. Neddo of Idaho Falls Saturday.

Idaho Falls Police Departments was trying to serve Neddo multiple warrants. He was wanted on Idaho Department of Correction’s parole violation, two Idaho Falls warrants for domestic violence and felony possession of a firearm.

According to reports, at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, the Idaho Falls Police Department was attempting to serve warrants to Neddo at the 500 block of 10 th Street in Idaho Falls. Due to threats of violence, officers made phone contact with Neddo. Neddo then made further threats of violence, and a single gunshot was heard from within the residence. There were no injuries reported. Neddo then barricaded himself inside the home. Officers began negotiations which continued for several hours.

At 2.38 p.m., officers introduced a chemical agent into the residence in an attempt to get Neddo to come out of the home. About two hours later, officers introduced additional chemical agents into the home.

Neddo was taken into custody and booked into the Bonneville County Jail.

“We would like to thank neighbors, friends and family who were supportive of our presence in the neighborhood,” said Idaho Falls Police Department Chief Mark McBride in a press release.
