Idalou Barricade

An entire Idalou neighborhood is shut down and swarmed by SWAT teams Friday morning.

The wife of 49-year-old David Debusk called 911around 4:30 in the morning.

She said her was drunk and firing a gun inside their home.

Debusk refused to answer calls made by sheriff's deputies, so the SWAT team was called in.

Authorities began evacuating the neighborhood about an hour later.

Debusk began to talk to negotiators around 8 am.

The Swat team deployed a special robot in the house and Debusk came out peacefully.

"The suspect mainly had some type of hallucination and had mental issues," said Idalou Police Chief Albert Garcia.

Debusk is being held at the Lubbock County Jail.
