The 21-year-old was inside the house when police arrived, the release said, but jumped out a window and fled from officers.
Attempts to Taser the naked man were unsuccessful, the release said, and the man was able to barricade himself in his own home next door.
Christian County sheriff’s deputies helped Nixa police surround the home while the tactical team was summoned. Officers and family members then tried for several hours to get the man to surrender, the release said.
The man reportedly had access to weapons in the home, so the tactical team used non-lethal gas in an attempt to flush him out.
