GREECE, N.Y. — A standoff at an apartment on Dewey Avenue on Friday morning ended when Greece Police chased down 33-year-old Carlos Flores and arrested him.

Police said they responded to a menacing call at 1:32 a.m. of a suspect who allegedly threatened a woman in front of the home.

While the police were investigating, Flores shouted obscenities at them from a second-floor window. There was a pregnant woman and two children, 10 and 12, were in the apartment with him. They were able to leave the apartment safely.

A secure perimeter was established, and over several hours, officers attempted to negotiate with Flores using a PA system, repeated phone calls, and assistance from his family members. He refused to surrender, continuing to shout threats, throwing items from the apartment windows, and repeatedly threatening to shoot officers. At one point, Flores appeared at a window, waving what appeared to be a handgun.

Shortly after 6 a.m., Flores left the home and aggressively charged at officers with his hands concealed inside his hoodie. As he neared them, he raised his fists and continued making threats. A Greece Police officer fired a bean-bag round, hitting Flores in the midsection and stopping him. Flores ran but was quickly caught and taken into custody with the help of a Monroe County Sheriff’s Department K-9.

He was taken to the hospital for evaluation. A search of his apartment did not turn up any firearms.

Flores was charged with menacing, obstructing governmental administration, and resisting arrest. He was taken to Monroe County Jail for arraignment.

Before police said no firearms were found, News10NBC asked Greece Police if they would file an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) to take whatever guns their suspect has, but they won’t because the suspect is already prohibited from having a gun.

According to state data, it shows there are 232 temporary or final ERPOs filed in Monroe County. The only police agency that appears to file ERPOs is the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, which they have done at least six times this year.

Berkeley Brean: “Why does your office file these protection orders?

Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter: “Well, first of all, you’re obligated by New York State law. The law changed a few years ago when you had an extreme risk.”

Baxter said an ERPO is only temporary, not a long-term order.

“We’re always cautious about that, too. You know the 2nd amendment, we love our folks that carry firearms. We’re not offended by that one bit,” said Baxter. “We try and support that, but in certain circumstances, there is always a case that bubbles to the top that we have this tool we can use to keep the public safe.”

Police blocked off Dewey Avenue near Stone Road for over an hour during the investigation, but it has since reopened.

A News10NBC photojournalist was on the scene and saw officers and a K-9 unit chase down the suspect and put handcuffs on him. Here are photos of the foot chase:
