No warrant served after north Columbia standoff

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

No warrant was served after Columbia police officers were seen in a standoff Tuesday evening on Sylvan Lane.

Officers were seen investigating an area of Sylvan Lane between Vandiver Drive and Quail Drive and were asking for someone to come out of a residence. Sylvan Lane was closed off as officers worked.

The Columbia Police Department wrote in a social media post that multiple officers were dispatched because of the “natural and severity of the called.”

“Upon arrival, officers secured the area while the incident was investigated. We evaluated the circumstances to determine whether a search warrant would be sought for the collection of potential evidence inside the residence,” the post says. “After careful assessment, we determined that a search warrant would not be pursued at that time.”

Officers left the scene at 8:30 p.m.

A CPD spokesman said earlier in the day that police were in the area in regards to an assault investigation.
