Ensley SWAT Standoff Ends Peacefully, Suspect Arrested

June 18, 2012

A SWAT standoff in Ensley ended with an Escambia County man behind bars.

Morrington Decarlos Adams, 37, was charged with battery, aggravated battery and kidnapping false imprisonment following the incident on Calahan Place.

Deputies responded to the 7800 block of Calahan Plance where they found a female sitting outside on the sidewalk with a gash on the back of her head. She told deputies that she and Adams had a dispute inside the residence, and he struck her in the head with a glass bottle.

Deputies later attempted to make contact with Adams who would not come to the door. Information was received that Adams was possible armed with a firearm in the home, according to Sheriff’s Office spokesman Matt Baxter.. The SWAT team was activated and responded to the scene, along with negotiators. After Adams failed to respond to the numerous attempts by negotiators to have him step outside , the SWAT  team deployed gas into the home. Moments later Adams exited and surrendered.

Adams is being held in the Escambia County Jail.
