Updated: Suspect in Standoff Made no Threats

Update: 11:45 a.m. Wednesday: Waukesha Police Capt. Ron Oremus has issued this statement to the media about Tuesday's standoff:

There is no information that this subject is a threat to the community at large as he has made no threats and there is no information that he possesses any weapon. He was involved in a domestic incident and it was later learned he left prior to police arrival. We are following up on all leads in a timely fashion, but there is not an active “man hunt” as has been reported by some media outlets.

Update, 9:06 p.m.: The 52-year-old man with whom police were involved in a standoff was not at the location and had fled prior to police arrival, according to an update from Capt. Ron Oremus.

The Waukesha Police Department’s Tactical Unit, the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department’s K-9 Unit and the Bear Cat regional armored vehicle responded because of the possibility that the man had armed himself and barricaded himself in the residence, according to the news release.

The man, Anthony C. Gonzales, has a felony warrant out for his arrest through the Department of Corrections, Oremus said in a news release. He remains at large and police are encouraging people to contact police dispatch at 262-524-3831 with information about his whereabouts.

People should use caution as Gonzales has an assaultive history, according to Oremus.
