AUSTIN (KXAN) — A man is in custody ending a three hour SWAT situation near St. Edward’s University. At 6:28 a.m. police received a call from someone on a balcony calling for police.

Juarez, Jose I (27 years of age)

The man, who police identified as Jose Juarez, 27, barricaded himself in at the Blunn Creek Apartment complex on 701 Woodward St. and Willow Run near I-35. Traffic was blocked from the I-35 frontage road onto Woodward Street. Theatre Pass was also closed. St. Edward’s says Lot P and the parking garage have now been re-opened.

The KXAN crew at the scene reported hearing police on the loud speaker ask the man to “come out the front door with your hands raised high above your head. We are not leaving.”

Police can be seen directing traffic around the area, detouring drivers through the nearby Home Depot parking lot.

St. Edward’s will allow open parking today without giving citations to students since the parking garage is blocked off. The University has issued an alert to students to enter campus through South Congress.

Juarez was charged with a Class A misdemeanor assault with injury: family violence, police say. He had two unrelated misdemeanor warrants for his arrest.
