CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – One person was taken into custody after a standoff and a fire in the city’s Old Brooklyn neighborhood.
The situation at a house in the 4600 block of Bader Ave. began around 10 p.m. Tuesday when Cleveland Police Second District officers went to the home to search for a man wanted for multiple felony warrants.
Cleveland Police said officers were given consent to check the home, but as they approached the rear staircase, the suspect threatened to shoot if they continued.
Officers retreated and attempted negotiations, but the suspect refused to surrender and barricaded himself inside, making threats about a shootout and possessing explosives.
SWAT officers and the Bomb Squad were called to the scene and officers said as SWAT entered the home, the suspect set the fire and fled out the back.
After a brief foot chase, the suspect was arrested at 3:06 a.m. Wednesday.
His name has not been released.
Cleveland Firefighters said they fought the blaze from the exterior, due to concerns of possible traps or explosives inside.
Damage is estimated at $80,000.
Police added five cats and two dogs are believed to have died in the fire.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Three-star defensive lineman Jamir Perez chose Florida on Sunday, opting to head south instead of stay in-state with the Buckeyes.
The Glenville High School product is the No. 1,012 overall prospect and No. 104 lineman in the cycle, per the 247Sports composite, but boasts an impressive offer list including Ohio State, Florida, Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
He’s listed at 6-foot-4 and 360 pounds, so he would’ve been one of the biggest — in terms of size — additions for the Buckeyes in recent memory. He fits the typical nose tackle position, and boasts a frame that Ohio State has not had on its line in recent seasons. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the Buckeyes from having some of the best defenses in the sport over the last two seasons.
Perez has an official visit scheduled to Ohio State on June 13, though it’s unclear if he’ll take that visit or any other visits at this time.
Though Ohio State has 13 total commitments in the 2026 class, the Buckeyes and defensive line coach Larry Johnson have no pledges along the line as it stands.

Here’s an up-to-date list of all NFL Players from Collinwood High School in Cleveland, Ohio.
The list includes only those players who have played in an NFL game.
See where it ranks among other schools in the state here.
The Cleveland Browns ultimately selected two quarterbacks in the NFL Draft last month, nabbing Dillon Gabriel in the third round and circling back around to snatch Shedeur Sanders in Round 5.
Sanders is obviously the bigger name of the two, and the general consensus is that he profiles to be the better NFL signal-caller than Gabriel.
There doesn’t seem to be a ton of hope for Gabriel as a legitimate starter on the professional level, and former NFL general manager Scot McCloughan — who feels that Sanders could be the best quarterback of this year’s draft class — feels that Gabriel will be a lifetime backup.
“I see him as a No. 2 for life. At best,” McCloughan said on 92.3 The Fan. “And in the third round, that’s fine. … I see him as a really good college quarterback. I see him as an average NFL quarterback.”
McCloughan is certainly not alone in that assessment, as many have cited Gabriel’s lack of size and pedestrian arm strength as reasons for why he will not be successful in the pros.
The University of Oregon product — who actually began his collegiate career at Central Florida and also spent two years at Oklahoma — did finish third in Heisman Trophy last season, throwing for 3,857 yards, 30 touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 72.9 percent of his passes, but even with that stat line, most had him pegged as a Day 3 pick, if not going undrafted entirely.
With a crowded Browns quarterback room that also features Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, it would probably take a monumental training camp and preseason for Gabriel to earn any sort of significant playing time during his rookie campaign.
