ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (WAVY) — A man is in custody after an hours-long standoff Tuesday at a home on Fourth Street in Elizabeth City following a pursuit by law enforcement, police said, and a shelter-in-place order for the neighborhood has been lifted. Elizabeth City Police said the home is sti ll an active crime scene, as law enforcement surrounded it in pursuit of a man who had been inside for more than five hours as people in the area of East Ward Street, Fourth Street and East Broad Street had been told to shelter in place, people in the neighborhood told 10 On Your Side. Fourth Street will remain closed for now, Pasquotank County Emergency Management said Tuesday evening. Law enforcement could be heard at 6 p.m. saying, "Come out with your hands up." At 6:42 p.m., a large bang could be heard, followed by a second bang at 6:44 p.m. and a third bang at 6:46 p.m. A dog that was inside the house was out at 6:49 p.m. They also used drone footage to look for where the man and dog were inside, and the home was gassed in an effort to get the man out. A neighbor, Alexius Drake, told 10 On Your Side's Keagan Hughes that there was a car chase, and a car ended up in her front yard. A man got out of the car and ran down Willow Street, and the man ended up on Fourth Street in the unlocked house of Randi Baluvelt, who said no one else was inside her home except her dog, Sage. The car has since been towed, according to Drake. Baluvelt said she had been on the Outer Banks and had been back in Elizabeth City for about 10 minutes when sheriff's office called her. She said she was told that police had surrounded her house because Alcohol Law Enforcement officers had been following a man who was on probation, and the man ran inside her house, where he had been inside until early Tuesday evening. Baluvelt said she asked police why it has taken so long to get the man out of her house, and she said police told her that they wanted to get him out peacefully. In a public social media announcement, the Pasquotank-Camden Emergency Management advised people in the area to not leave their residence and avoid driving through the area until further notice. Chopper 10 flew over the scene and saw a large police presence. WAVY's crew on the ground saw the same thing, with officers wearing bulletproof vests.
