IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — A shelter-in-place order has been lifted for a local neighborhood after an attempt to serve a warrant led to a brief police incident on Tuesday afternoon.

The Bonneville County Sheriff's Office issued an "all-clear" for the area surrounding W. Elswood Drive after an Idaho Falls Police Department operation concluded safely.

Idaho Falls Police and the United States Marshals Task Force responded after Gustavo Chavez "barricaded himself inside the home," said IFPD Interim Spokesperson Lt. Dustin Howell.

In the end, officers took Chavez into custody without incident.

He was wanted on several felony charges, including felony eluding and probation violations, according to Lt. Howell.
