WASHINGTON - Police say a suspect who barricade himself for over nine hours in a Northwest D.C. home has been taken into custody Wednesday evening.

Officers arrived at a home in the 1400 block of Oglethorpe Street at around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to serve a warrant for 22-year-old Warren Stevenson. He was wanted on charges for an armed carjacking, assault and robbery back on Nov. 12 on Franklin Street in Northeast D.C.
