A shoplifting suspect allegedly barricaded herself in the Larimer County Jail sally port for over two hours and threatened an officer with a gun on Sunday.
The incident began when Patricia Rodriguez, 38, of Greeley was arrested around 4 p.m. in connection to an alleged shoplifting at a Fort Collins store.
Once in the sally port, the officer was trying to get her out of the vehicle when out of the handcuffs, she"manipulated storage safety measures" and was able to access the officer’s firearm, the release from the sheriff's office read. Rodriguez remained in the officer’s vehicle until 7:30 p.m., when she left the unit and was taken into custody with the help from a K-9, the release said.
