CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - Press Release:

This morning, at approximately 11:30 a.m. the Cheyenne/Laramie County Joint SWAT team conducted a high-risk warrant service at a residence in the 1400 block of East 18th Street. Due to the nature of the call, there was a heavy law enforcement presence in the area.

This operation was pre-planned and extra precautions were taken to ensure the safety of everyone in the area.

At approximately 11:50 a.m. one adult male subject was taken into custody.

The area has been cleared and we do not believe there is any threat to public safety.
