The Ames Police presence in the 1800 block of Maxwell Thursday evening is due to their attempts to negotiate with a suicidal person according to an Instagram post from Ames Police.

 

Police ask that individuals avoid the area whilst negotiations are ongoing. Officers have contained the area, and according to the post, nobody besides the individual being negotiated with is present in the home.
