Man arrested for barricading with 2-year-old in Roxborough, threatening to shoot DHS worker: police

A visit by a DHS worker quickly escalated into a barricade situation involving a toddler that lasted from Monday night into early Tuesday morning.

The 53-year-old female worker was serving a court order on the 5900 block of Jannette street when police say a man threatened to shoot her and fled with a 2-year-old child.

Police were called to the scene as the man returned several hours later with the child, and barricaded them both inside the home.
