The incident happened in Orlando, Florida, when authorities responded to a 9-1-1 call about a physical fight in which a man was beating a woman and dragging her into the road by her hair, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies arrived at a garage within the apartment complex and tried to get Laforest to come out, but he wouldn’t comply, the officers say.
Laforest, who was armed with a gun, then barricaded himself behind a car inside the open garage and refused to exit and wouldn’t show deputies his hands or comply with any verbal commands.
