Domestic abuse suspect quickly surrenders

An Indianapolis SWAT team rushed to a Near-Northside home Thursday morning after a woman called police and said that her boyfriend had been beating her all night.

But before the heavily armed and armored officers could begin their operation, the suspect gave up.

Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department went to the home in the 2200 block of North Capitol Avenue about 8:40 a.m. after getting an incomplete 911 call from a woman who said she was inside the residence, IMPD Commander Ted Fries said.

She said that her 36-year-old boyfriend had been confining her inside and beating her since the previous day.

District officers surrounded the home and the SWAT Team was called out when the suspect did not leave the home, Fries said.

The suspect exited the back of the home and was arrested on outstanding warrants for confinement, residential entry, battery and strangulation as the first few SWAT officers arrived.

The woman who made the report was not at the home. Fries said she called police from a different location.

Other people were inside the residence but they were not connected to the incident and they were not being held against their will, Fries said.

Police are working to locate the woman who placed the 911 call.
