HOUSTON — A man was arrested Wednesday after a SWAT standoff in the Galleria neighborhood.

Houston police said they responded to the scene at Bering Drive, near Westheimer Road, after receiving reports that a man who had been evicted had returned to the property and attempted to enter the garage.

Houston police eventually called SWAT because they said the man was uncooperative.

The man eventually surrendered and was taken into custody.

The incident forced the closure of Bering for several hours. It’s unclear what charges he will face, if any.
