IDAHO FALLS — An eleven-time convicted felon is facing an additional felony charge after barricading himself inside a home Saturday.
Rory D. Neddo, 27, has been charged with felony possession of a firearm following the nearly seven-hour stand-off.
The Idaho Falls Police Department attempted to serve warrants to Neddo at a home on the 500 block of 10th Street around 9:30 a.m. Due to threats of violence, officials made phone contact with the suspect and he refused to leave the house.
Dozens of officers surrounded the home and police say Neddo threatened violence throughout the day. At one point, a single gunshot was heard from within the residence.
Police rammed the front door around 4:15 p.m. and detonated gas inside the house. Neddo was peacefully arrested.
Neddo was wanted on an Idaho Department of Correction parole violation warrant, two Idaho Falls warrants for domestic violence and felony possession of a firearm.
He remains in the Bonneville County Jail on $50,000 bond for the new felony weapons charge.
