At approximately 10:24AM the Covington Division of Police attempted to serve several outstanding warrants for probation violations and Contempt of Court for Failure to Appear at 827 N. Rockbridge Avenue. As the Officers attempted to make contact with Timothy R. Boyd, a 53 year old male, the suspect barricaded himself inside the residence and refused to cooperate with the police.

The Covington Division of Police with the help of the Alleghany Sherriff’s Office and Virginia State Police, were able to contain this incident to the 800 Block of N. Rockbridge Avenue. The suspect eventually exited peacefully after a two and a half hour standoff. Boyd is currently being held in the Alleghany Regional Jail and may face addition charges.

“We as a community have had to deal with a lot over the past few weeks. I am proud we can still continue to provide the public safety services our citizens need and deserve during these trying times in our City.” said Chief Christopher Smith.
