A Breckenridge resident, who faces charges in Caldwell County, was apprehended at Lathrop after he was believed to be armed and allegedly refusing to come out of a house.
At the request of Lathrop police, the Clinton County Sheriff’s Department along with the Tri-County SWAT team responded to the incident Wednesday evening. Information from the Clinton County Sheriff’s Department said the individual, identified as Damion Micah Bergen of Breckenridge, was believed to be suicidal and reportedly armed with a weapon at the residence in Lathrop.
Other occupants of the residence were identified and removed from the residence safely.
