Advisory

On 2/14/17, at 0353 hrs., APD received a 911 call from a female who had locked herself in a bathroom reporting her boyfriend, later identified as Michael Froyd DOB 1/17/1990, had assaulted her when he pointed a gun (black .45 handgun) at her head. Froyd told the female he was going to kill her. It was unclear if alcohol or drugs were a factor preceding the call to police. At approximately 0456 hrs., the female was able to make her way outside to where officers were waiting. Officers cordoned off the area of Boston, and 12 and ASD were notified just in case there were school bus routes in the neighborhood. APD Negotiators were unsuccessful at getting Froyd to surrender voluntarily using a phone and the PA. After surrounding apartments had been evacuated a less lethal warning was given before gas was deployed into the residence. Two minutes after the gas deployment, Froyd surrendered to officers at the front door. Froyd was charged with Misconduct involving weapons in the 3rd degree and Assault 3rd degree. Froyed was lodged at the Anchorage Jail.
