| February 4, 2016 9:29 AM

The multi-agency SWAT team arrested Brandon Kremer, 22, Post Falls, at a home on Best Avenue and Fifth Street in Coeur d'Alene following a standoff this afternoon.

Kremer was barricaded inside the home this afternoon for more than an hour. The suspect, who had a felony fugitive warrant, was arrested without further incident, according to Coeur d'Alene Police.

Police blocked off neighboring streets during the incident but have since re-opened. Borah Elementary was temporarily locked down as a precaution.

Kremer was wanted on multiple Kootenai County felony warrants, including probation violations, burglary and grand theft. 

Cole Wyant, who police believe committed crimes with Kremer, is still wanted on a $25,000 for burglary and grand theft.
