VIENNA, Va. — A 37-year-old man is in custody after a seven-hour barricade situation in Vienna, Virginia on Monday night.
The Town of Vienna, Virginia had asked residents to avoid a neighborhood due to police activity.
The suspect was arrested at an apartment complex in the 200 block of Locust Street, Southeast.
The man was later identified as Nassar T. Abdelilah.
Abdelilah was arrested around 10 p.m. Monday at his home on Park Terrace Court Southeast near Park Street.
Vienna Police responded to several calls about disorderly conduct at the residence throughout the day and obtained warrants for his arrest.
“Officers observed him throwing things off his balcony and threatening others,” said Vienna Police Chief Jim Morris in a press statement. “Mr. Abdelilah locked himself in his home, did not answer telephone calls from police, and Vienna officers attempted to communicate with him verbally through his front door to serve the warrants. When those attempts were unsuccessful, Vienna police contacted the Fairfax County Police Department for assistance. We are appreciative of the County’s support to bring the situation to an end without incident.”
Abdelilah now faces five misdemeanor assault charges in Vienna and one felony stalking charge related to an outstanding warrant in a neighboring jurisdiction. Abdelilah is being held without bond at the Fairfax County Detention Center pending his arraignment.
