SWAT standoff suspect appears in superior court

SPOKANE – A Spokane man accused of causing a six-hour SWAT standoff in the Hillyard neighborhood appeared before a judge on Christmas Eve.

Kyle Fergesen, 36, was charged after police say he entered the rec room at Silvan Place Apartments with a kitchen knife and threatened to kill everyone present.

The incident led to a tense, drawn out standoff with police last Monday night. Fergesen is currently undergoing a mental health evaluation and has been held on a $100,000 bond. He is scheduled to return to court next month.
