Police Surrounding Suspect House.
In an unexpected turn of events early Wednesday morning, a man took the law into his own hands in the Coosaw Creek neighborhood of North Charleston, South Carolina. The suspect, identified as 51-year-old Marlon Dwight Brabham, was arrested following allegations of first-degree burglary and violation of a pre-existing restraining order.
According to reports, the incident commenced around 6 a.m. Wednesday when Brabham allegedly broke into a woman’s residence. In response, the SWAT team was dispatched to the location and surrounded the house, preparing for what would unfold into a drawn-out standoff with the barricaded suspect.
Thankfully, the female homeowner managed to escape the residence unhurt amidst the chaos. However, the suspect reportedly refused to surrender and exit the property.
North Charleston Police spokesman Harve Jacobs confirmed that law enforcement made the decision to enter the property around 11:30 a.m. After multiple strenuous hours, the police successfully apprehended and arrested Brabham.

As this situation develops, the North Charleston law enforcement continues their investigation into the details of the case, including the relationship between Brabham and the victim, the motive behind the incident, and any potential opportunities to prevent future occurrences of this nature.
Foreign to the typically tranquil Coosaw Creek community, residents were taken aback by this incident. Neighbors and civilians alike anticipate a resolution of these unfortunate events and a return to peaceful coexistence.
In conclusion, Marlon Dwight Brabham, 51, remains under custody after being accused of a first-degree burglary and violating a restraining order. The victim in the incident is safe, and investigations continue under the North Charleston Police Department.
