CHESAPEAKE, Va. - A wanted man is now in custody Friday night after a barricade incident.

Police say the barricade incident took place in the 800 block of Laurel Avenue around 2:40 p.m., after police were called for a domestic complaint.

When officers arrived on scene and began conducting their investigation, they say it was determined that someone inside the home had an outstanding warrant.

27-year-old Dequawn Acree of Chesapeake had an outstanding warrant for possession of a firearm by a felon.

Acree was taken into custody to be served with the outstanding warrant.
