Green Bay Police Arrest Man After Four-Hour Standoff Following Traffic Stop Flee

Green Bay police arrested a 44-year-old man with a known weapons history after a nearly four-hour standoff at a residence on the 800 block of Columbia Avenue. The man initially fled from an attempted traffic stop near Vroman and Mather streets on July 18, 2025, and was later located at the home on Sunday morning. The SWAT team and Crisis Negotiation Team responded to the scene, and after refusing to comply initially, the suspect peacefully surrendered by 1:45 p.m. No other incidents occurred during the arrest. The Green Bay Police Department thanked the Brown County Sheriff's Office, Green Bay Metro Fire Department, and local residents for their cooperation with a temporary shelter-in-place order during the operation.
