The Lincoln Police SWAT team was called out Monday afternoon to the 4200 block of Northwest 54th Street following a dispute between two neighbors.
LPD says someone called 911 to report that their neighbor, 33-year-old George Looschen III, was outside his house yelling and waiving a handgun around. Officers arrived and found Looschen in his backyard. “Officers contacted him by phone to try and speak with him, however he refused to cooperate,” says LPD Captain Todd Kocian
“Due to the presence of firearms, the Lincoln Police Department SWAT Team was deployed. After approximately two hours of negotiating Looschen was taken into custody without further incident.”
Officers recovered a .380 caliber handgun, drug paraphernalia and suspected ecstasy pills. Looschen was arrested for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, possession of a controlled substance and violating a harassment protection order.
