SALT LAKE CITY — A man is in police custody after he barricaded himself inside an apartment after a domestic violence incident on Sunday morning, Salt Lake City police said.

Police responded to the apartment complex at 1925 W. North Temple Street, where 40-year-old Michael Dayley was alone inside the apartment.

According to police, Dayley broke into the apartment, which belonged to a former girlfriend. He is suspected of stealing her phone and refusing to let her leave the apartment. Police said she had to jump from her balcony to escape.

“Officers tried to contact Dayley several times, but he refused to come out. Officers heard sounds from inside the apartment indicating that Dayley may have moved furniture in front of the door,” Salt Lake City police said in a press release.

Responding officers called the Salt Lake City SWAT team and crisis negotiators for assistance.

At approximately 2 p.m., police were able to take Dayley into custody. He was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on suspicion of robbery, unlawful detention, violating a protective order, assault, and interfering with a police officer, according to police.
