Florida man involved in standoff in an apparent dispute over cooking hot dogs
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. -- A Florida man involved in a standoff with police Thursday pulled a gun on relatives in an apparent dispute over cooking hot dogs, according to a police report made public Friday.
Officers were initially called shortly after 10:30 a.m. Thursday to a reported domestic assault. A woman and a young girl were able to escape when Lamar Brooks, 24, pulled a gun and made threats, the report said.
When officers arrived, they were told that Brooks was barricaded inside the home. The woman told investigators that she and Brooks were arguing Thursday morning when he grabbed a gun and started walking around the apartment, saying, “I can cook whatever I want.”
Officers attempted to contact Brooks by phone but learned that he had managed to get out of the home. The West Palm Beach Hostage and Crisis Negotiator Team responded to the scene and was able to make contact with Brooks, the report said.
