Police have identified and charged the man who they say barricaded himself in a Cedar Park apartment Thursday evening and led to a SWAT call.

Cedar Park police said they were called to the Muir Lake Apartments around 7:30 p.m. Thursday for a welfare check on Galen Wasem. Wasem - who was reportedly armed with a weapon - did not respond to police when they arrived, and the Central Texas Regional SWAT Team was called.

During the situation, CPPD said they noticed "movement in a vacant apartment" next to Wasem's. The SWAT team breached the door of the vacant apartment around 1:20 a.m. Friday to take Wasem into custody. Police located a handgun in Wasem's apartment, and determined he used an attic space to enter the adjacent apartment.

Wasem was booked into the Williamson County Jail early Friday morning on a charge of criminal trespass. Bond information for Wasem was not listed on the Williamson County Jail's website as of 12:40 p.m. Friday.

Residents of buildings 11, 12 and 13 at the complex were told to shelter in place while police and the Central Texas Regional SWAT Team responded to the situation.

Adrian Reeman Transforms Flat Into DIY Versailles

Kristin shares a Chicago home with a dog, a rabbit, two cats, a husband, and an 11-year-old daughter. Adrian Reeman is a DIY guru! He has spent the last 30 years turning his Southhampton council flat into a replica of the Palace of Versailles. Over time he has transformed the walls, ceiling, fireplace, and cupboards in every room. His ninth floor apartment now has a palatial feel with an interior fit for a king. Despite devoting hundreds of hours to working his magic on wardrobes, chairs, chests, and tables, Adrian has spent very little money, because he finds or makes everything himself! Some of the tables, for example, are made from discarded wooden salad bowls , while the detailing on the fireplace was created using the brass prongs from plugs. Adrian is currently creating a toilet with a faux marble finish  to serve as the perfect throne. What’s even more incredible is that Adrian has no professional design experience , nor has he ever visited Versailles ! To say he figured this ...
