Just after 4:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon, LCSO Dispatch received a call about an armed man acting erratically in Berthoud. The caller reported that man was outside of a home, had a gun, and was behaving in a threatening manner toward other people.

When deputies arrived, the man had gone inside. They contacted him by phone and successfully convinced him to come out. He was safely taken into custody. No property damage or injuries have been reported, and there is no ongoing threat to the community. Deputies are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident.

As a precaution, a shelter in place alert was issued for the immediate surrounding area. People can sign up to receive emergency notifications at www.nocoalert.org. We appreciate the patience and support of neighbors while deputies worked to peacefully resolve this situation!

📶Whether you're exploring the wilds of Larimer County, you have a home in the hills, or you're just in a signal black hole like a basement or thick building, connectivity can create challenges during an emergency.

Need help in a cellular desert? Try using the WiFi calling feature on your phone:

✅Enable WiFi calling in your settings
✅Make sure you have a valid, current E911 address listed
❎Do not use a P.O. box or outdated address! This is the location Dispatch will see when you call.

If you're using a satellite provider and you're having issues connecting via 9-1-1, try calling our Dispatch non-emergency number at 970-416-1985 (these numbers route through different telecom pathways).

Still can't get through or dealing with a situation where you're afraid of being heard? Text to 9-1-1 is a service available in Larimer County. You MUST include your location so Dispatch knows where to send help. Always call if you can, text if you can't!
