In a busy few days, Scottsdale Police officers responded to a domestic violence suspect barricaded in his home, a student who allegedly sent a threatening message and a fatal bicycle accident.<\/p>\n
Late afternoon Dec. 8, bicyclist Devin Curran died after being hit by a car near Thompson Peak Parkway and Raintree Drive.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe driver of the vehicle remained at the scene,\u201d according to Officer Aaron Bolin. \u201cSpeed and impairment are not considered factors in the collision.\u201d<\/p>\n
No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n
The roadway was closed for several hours while detectives investigated the collision.<\/p>\n
Two days earlier, a boy was arrested for sending a threatening message to Coronado High School.<\/p>\n
Bolin described the incident as \u201ca one-sentence written threat was sent to Coronado High School\u2019s direct message social media account by a juvenile suspect.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the investigation, it was determined that a single person was involved in making the written threat; it was not part of any planned or coordinated threat with others, and the suspect does not have the means to physically carry out the written threat,\u201d Bolin said.<\/p>\n
When the school opened after the weekend, Bolin said there was an increased police presence \u201cout of an abundance of caution.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth the Scottsdale Police Department and the Scottsdale Unified School District take all threats to the schools very seriously,\u201d Bolin said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis case was thoroughly investigated by detectives and patrol officers, resulting in the arrest of the suspect and the subsequent criminal charges they will face through the court system.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Dec. 7, officers arrested Andrew Shadid, 57, on \u201cseveral domestic violence-related charges,\u201d according to Bolin.<\/p>\n
Police were called to a south Scottsdale residence near 70th Street and McDowell Road after a woman reported Shadid had forced his way into her residence, assaulted her and threatened to ignite the home on fire with gasoline, according to Bolin.<\/p>\n
\u201cShadid told the victim he would kill her and himself if police showed up,\u201d Bolin said.<\/p>\n
An existing court order prohibited Shadid from being at the residence.<\/p>\n
The woman was able to safely escape from the residence before police arrived.<\/p>\n
Police attempted contact with Shadid in numerous ways to get him to exit the residence and peacefully surrender, Bolin said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice created a perimeter around the house, and barricade procedures were initiated,\u201d Bolin said. \u201cNeighborhood roadways were blocked, and nearby homes were evacuated.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police crisis negotiators \u201cattempted numerous times and used different methods to establish contact with Shadid and persuade him to peacefully surrender and leave the residence,\u201d Bolin said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShadid never communicated back with Scottsdale Police and never indicated any attempt to surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n
After nearly four hours, Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) officers entered the home and eventually located Shadid in a bedroom. He told the SWAT team he was armed, Boliin said. A police canine bit the man, followed by officers arresting him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim is receiving assistance from Scottsdale Police Crisis Intervention Services,\u201d Bolin said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a busy few days, Scottsdale Police officers responded to a domestic violence suspect barricaded in his home,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":450770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5131],"tags":[5229,5643,1587,80894,1589,7600,24646,178359,25535,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-450769","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-arizona","10":"tag-az","11":"tag-coronado-high-school","12":"tag-phoenix","13":"tag-scottsdale","14":"tag-scottsdale-police","15":"tag-scottsdale-police-department","16":"tag-scottsdale-unified-school-district","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115728911621741884","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
