A Detroit Lakes motel was evacuated Sunday night after a man said he had a gun and threatened to shoot officers.
The Becker County Sheriff's Office was trying to pick up a 49-year-old Dent, Minn., man around 7:30 p.m. at the 59er Motel at 19389 Frontage Road on a harassment restraining order violation out of Otter Tail County.
The man threatened officers through the window, saying he had a gun and would shoot himself or anyone who came in, police said.
Several agencies were called in and officers were able to talk the man down before SWAT arrived.
No weapon was found, police said.
