Stand-off With SWAT Team At Birch Bay Home



BIRCH BAY, Wash. -- A SWAT team surrounded the home of a Birch Bay man yesterday afternoon after he threatened to kill someone and commit suicide. 

The stand-off began at 4 p.m. when 23-year-old Levi M. Tucker fired several shots into the air around his home on the 4300 block of Bay Road.

Roads surrounding his house on were blocked off for about a half an hour as negotiators and his father tried to convince him to come out.

Tucker walked out unarmed at 5 p.m.

No one was hurt in the stand-off. Minutes before the police were informed of his threats, Tucker posted on Facebook that someone was going to die today. 

Tucker was booked into Whatcom County Jail for felony harassment.
