A six-hour standoff in Sarasota has ended with a man dead.
It all stems from an attempt to serve him with a warrant.
The sheriff’s office says the SWAT team has entered a home on Silk Oak Drive and found him dead.
After deputies made contact at the house earlier this morning, a woman left and told them the person they wanted had a firearm inside.
The sheriff’s office says the man told the woman to tell authorities that he did not want to go “back to jail.”
Deputies say the man refused to leave the home and did not cooperate.
The sheriff’s office has not released the man’s name or the nature of the warrants.
