Police negotiators spent more than two hours persuading a suicidal man who claimed to be armed with a handgun to come out of his Pasadena motel room and agree to get help, Pasadena Police confirmed Monday, Feb. 8.
The incident began about 8:30 p.m. when a 30-year-old Monrovia man called police from a motel in the 1600 block of East Colorado Boulevard and said he was suicidal and had a gun with him in his motel room according to police reports.
Police arrived on scene and got the man back on the phone, Mercado said. After more than two hours, police crisis negotiators managed to persuade the man to come out.
No gun was located at the scene.
