Barricaded subject in Western Vigo County

On Monday June 6th at approximately 7:30pm deputies responded to an address on West Manchester Ave in Western Vigo County, in reference to a diabetic problem.  While officers were enroute, the call turned into a weapon being pulled on a subject at the residence.  Other officers began responding including West Terre Haute Police Department and Indiana State Police.
 
Before arrival persons inside the residence were able to exit the residence without injury.  A special response team was called to the scene considering officers were informed the subject had a firearm inside the residence and he would not exit upon commands.  After a period of time, the subject inside the residence identified as Thomas Quintana (68 year old male) finally exited the home without further incident.  He was transported to the hospital for medical clearance and then transported to the Vigo County Jail and charged with pointing a firearm, criminal recklessness, intimidation and resisting law enforcement.
 
Other assisting agencies included THPD (SRT) and Sugar Creek Fire Dept.
