A man was arrested Saturday after calling police to his home only to shoot at them.
Allen Dewayne Thomas, 47, was charged with attempted capital murder of a peace officer after Parker County Sheriff’s officers responded to his call on the 7100 block of River Trail in Weatherford, Texas, the Dallas Morning News reports.
ARRESTED: Elderly couple set house on fire to lure police into ambush
Thomas told the dispatcher that he’d shot two people and that others were on the loose. When officers arrived, he threatened to shoot them. They did not find anyone else at the home and believe that it was an attempt to ambush them.
The Weatherford-Parker County Special Operations Group also went to to the scene, roughly two hours after police responded.
Thomas yelled, “Come and get me!,”and officers managed to arrest him. He’s currently being held in the Parker County Jail.
See the video above for another look at a dangerous police ambush case.
