A suspect is in custody after a four-hour standoff Tuesday night at an apartment on the 3200 block of Osage Street.

Police said the incident began about 4:45 p.m., with a report of a custody dispute over a 6-month-old baby. At first, the father refused to give up the child. After about two hours, however, the baby was turned over to authorities.

However, the father, who police said is wanted on several outstanding felony warrants, refused to leave the apartment.

Police do not believe the man had a gun, but they do think he may have had knives.

The standoff ended shortly before 9 p.m., when police announced the suspect was in custody.

Numerous police were on the scene.

The Colorado Department of Transportation said the off ramps from Interstate 25 to Osage were closed because of police activity.
