Drugs Suspected in 5-Hour SWAT Standoff

A man who took over a gas station in Modesto for 5 hours in a standoff with police and SWAT was suspected of being on drugs, sources say. The incident occurred near 10 PM at a Shell station, and began when the suspect got into an argument outside the gas station. The suspect allegedly escalated the argument to the point where he entered the gas station with a chain and began breaking things.

It took 5 hours for police and a SWAT team to take the man into custody and reclaim the gas station. He was driven to a local hospital to be tested for drugs and treated for detox. Though you may never think you’d end up in a situation like this, the fact is that people do all kinds of terrible things while on drugs—things they’d never believe they’d do. If you have a problem with drugs, you should seek treatment now before you do something you’ll regret.

If you have a problem with alcohol or drug abuse or know someone who does, you should seek help now for yourself or your loved one. Thankfully, there is good help available. Detoxification and behavioral therapy have proven to be effective in treating drug dependence. Addicts are often unable to complete treatment on their own or with family members, so it’s very important to seek the right treatment center.
