(Seguin) — A burglary suspect was taken into custody Thursday afternoon, but not before barricading himself inside a home in the 1000 block of Elm Street.
Seguin Police say officers arrived to the home to serve a felony burglary warrant on Kewannee Wilson, 48.
When he saw authorities, Wilson reportedly ran inside the home and barricaded himself inside a room.
Officers were made aware that the room occupied by Wilson contained multiple firearms.
At various times, they said officers could hear Wilson manipulating a firearm inside the room.
Wilson was directed by officers to vacate the room, but declined and eventually stopped all communication.
Due to the general area of the incident, the Seguin ISD schools nearby — which included Seguin High School and Weinert Elementary — enacted their secure protocols for the safety of students and staff.
According to the district, during a secure protocol, students stay inside the building and do business as usual.
The Seguin Police Department was able to take Wilson into custody without further incident.
Wilson was transported and booked in the Guadalupe County Jail.
He faces charges of Burglary of a Motor Vehicle with two plus previous convictions, which is a state jail felony.
