Daniel S. Vanderpool, 54, of 2204 Dubois Drive, Warsaw, was taken into custody. He is being held in the Kosciusko County Jail on initial charges of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon, according to a news release from the Warsaw Police Department. Initial bond was set at $5,250.
At 10:46 p.m. Sunday, Kosciusko Central Dispatch received a call of multiple alarms and a residential hold-up alarm at 2204 Dubois Drive, Warsaw, near the Kosciusko Community Hospital campus. Warsaw police responded and found the front door glass broken.
As officers checked the exterior of the residence, an officer observed a male subject inside through a window. The subject was a middle-aged male and had no shirt and was yelling. The officer observed the subject walk to a barricaded area and turn around and make eye contact with the officer though the window. The subject then crouched down and fired a shot toward where the officer had been, the release states.
Officers at the residence attempted to get the subject to drop his weapons and come out, but he refused and continued to state that he would shoot the police. The area was secured and the Warsaw Police Department Emergency Response Team arrived on scene. After negotiations failed, several gas canisters were fired into the residence by the ERT team, according to the release.
At 1:27 a.m. today, Vanderpool walked out the front door and was taken into custody with no further incident.
Vanderpool, the owner of the residence, was taken into custody.
Police located no one else inside the residence, but found three handguns and a shotgun that had been fired. The alarm panel was tore off the wall and another bullet hole was located inside the residence.
The initial investigation found that Vanderpool was extremely intoxicated and on several medications. From his statements, it appears that he became upset when he could not turn off or silence his own alarm system, according to the release.
