On
5/3/13 the Bates County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a residence in
Ballard Mo. On arrival the Deputies made
contact with a female victim that had apparent injuries. The female advised the deputy that the male
had barricaded himself in the house and was threatening to hurt anyone who
entered. The subject had been drinking
and taking medication.
The
Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team was called to the scene. The Response Team consists of tactical
officers and a crisis negotiation team.
A perimeter was established and communication with the subject was
attempted. After several hours of attempting
to make contact, fears were elevated that maybe the subject was unconscious
from the mix of pills and alcohol. Entry
was made into the residence where tactical officers found the subject crouched
into the corner holding two knives.
Officers were able to disarm the subject and subdue him without further
incident. The Sheriff’s Office was
assisted by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The subject was identified as Fred Lunde, 2/15/66, of Ballard. Lunde was transported to the Hospital for
evaluation and then taken to the Bates County Jail. Lunde was charged with Domestic Assault with
injury and Resist Arrest. Bond was set
at $15,000 Cash or Surety.
