The case grew out of an incident in 2015 when an armed Walmart shoplifting suspect who took two belts and a shirt from an Aurora, Colorado, store then ran into Lech’s home and barricaded himself there for 19 hours. As the man hid in a bathroom in the home, a city SWAT team fired flash-bang grenades, gas munitions and 40-millimeter rounds into the house. Explosives were used to take down walls and as the standoff came to an end, an armored vehicle was driven through the front doors of the home.
