Deputies said they saw 37-year-old Jermaine Graham of Omaha, who was wanted in Douglas County on suspicion of terroristic threats, inside the apartment.
Investigators asked him and the others in the apartment to come out, according to the sheriff’s office, but they barricaded themselves inside.
Law enforcement eventually entered the unit and took Graham into custody.
