Cherokee County SWAT and several other law enforcement agencies responded to a barricaded 16-year-old boy who had been in a high-speed chase with officers earlier in the morning. They think the boy was armed and wanted on multiple felony warrants. After many hours of unsuccessful negotiations, police used a Rook Tactical Armored vehicle to gain access and provide visibility inside the house. They located the suspect in the home and took him into custody.
