PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man was arrested this week following a standoff after he allegedly threatened another man with a knife at a Hillsboro apartment complex.

According to the Hillsboro Police Department, 26-year-old Ricardo Vargas-Aguilar was arrested on Wednesday on multiple charges following the incident.

Officers responded at about 11:03 a.m. to reports of a disturbance with a weapon at the Merriweather Apartments at 1548 SE Walnut St.

"It was reported that an adult male inside the apartment had threatened another male with a knife, causing the victim to lock himself in a bathroom," a Hillsboro PD release said. "The victim was able to retreat out the front door as officers arrived, with the other male following close behind."

Police said they made sure the victim was safe and then made multiple attempts to talk to and negotiate with the suspect in order to convince him to come out of the apartment. The individual barricaded himself in the apartment. Later, law enforcement attained a search warrant.

Members of the Washington County Tactical Negotiations Team and Crisis Negotiations Unit were called in to assist. Eventually, Vargas-Aguilar was arrested inside the apartment. He now faces charges of menacing and unlawful use of a weapon.
