Ames Police negotiated with a suicidal individual inside Iceberg Refrigeration in West Ames late Sunday night.

Around 6:45 p.m., Ames Police received a call for a welfare check from the man’s family members, said Investigations Commander Geoff Huff. Officers located the man around 8:40 p.m. at Iceberg Refrigeration behind Cazador Mexican Restaurant across from west Hy-Vee.

“He was not cooperative. He entered the building. There was indication there may be a weapon inside the building,” Huff said.

During the negotiation, Huff said police officers and the man’s family members were able to speak to the man via cell phone. Huff said he did not believe the man was an ISU student.

A CyRide bus was parked outside of Iceberg Refrigeration and was used as a shelter for police officers during the negotiation. Businesses around the area, including Cazador and Alpha Copies, were evacuated during the incident.

After about two hours of negotiations, the suspect was taken into custody with no injuries reported from the situation.

“At this point, we’ll just have to evaluate where he’s at and figure out what we need to do with him next, which is hard to say right now,” Huff said regarding the man’s welfare.
