MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) - Guests and staff at the Holiday Inn Express on South Porter Street in Manchester, New Hampshire were evacuated Monday as police removed a barricaded suspect from the building.
Manchester Police worked with the Goffstown Police Department and Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office to locate 30-year-old Brian Elliot of Weare after he allegedly pointed a gun at a Goffstown police officer before fleeing a traffic stop over the weekend, according to police.
When authorities tried to make contact with him at the hotel, he allegedly refused to come out and barricaded himself inside a room.
Roads in the area were closed for a time as Manchester Police SWAT Officers and Crisis Negotiators worked to convince Elliot to leave the room.
He emerged after several hours and was taken into custody.
