A Country-Club Stand-Off Comes to an End

Forest Ridge

BROKEN ARROW, Okla. (AP) — An armed carjacking suspect is in custody after a standoff with police near a suburban Tulsa golf course.

Police say the standoff began Thursday afternoon after a man ran into a building near the Forest Ridge Golf Club in Broken Arrow following an attempted carjacking in Wagoner County with two other suspects. The suspects ran in separate directions as police arrived.

Broken Arrow Police Sergeant Thomas Cooper told reporters that one suspect ran into the building near the course and barricaded himself inside.

Police said two women were inside the building at the time, but escaped safely.
