7:15PM UPDATE:
Corpus Christi Police arrested a man in his 60s following a domestic disturbance that escalated into a standoff with law enforcement on Western Drive.

Officers responded to Western Drive and Mesa at around 3:56 p.m. Wednesday after receiving a call about a disturbance between a man and woman.

When police arrived, they found a female with minor injuries standing in the front yard while the male suspect retreated inside the home and shut the door.

Authorities established a perimeter around the home and called in specialized units including SWAT, a hostage negotiation team, and drone operators to assist with the situation.

Negotiators eventually made contact with the suspect, who later released an elderly woman from the residence. Shortly afterward, the man surrendered to police without further incident.

Medical personnel evaluated all individuals at the scene. The suspect was taken to a local hospital to receive treatment for injuries during the disturbance.

The man faces charges of aggravated assault-family violence, according to police.
