Fort Forth SWAT members arrested a man who allegedly fired at police, code enforcement and professional lawn mowers after an hours-long standoff.
Police say they were there because of repeated code violations and were met with violence.
After four hours, a standoff between a Fort Worth man and Fort Worth police finally came to an end just before 1 p.m. Friday afternoon.
It all started on Cedar Springs Drive around 8:30 a.m. when police say code enforcement officers showed up to mow his front lawn.
The grass, under Fort Worth city code, had to be under 12 inches. Fort Worth police say they accompanied code compliance to serve the homeowner with a violation for high grass. It was his seventh citation within two years.
