A SWAT team was called out to aid in a warrant arrest in Montgomery County.

Just after 9 a.m. Wednesday, the Montgomery County Multi-Jurisdictional SWAT Team was activated to serve a high risk felony arrest warrant in the 7000 block of E 1100 S. Prior to their arrival, the suspect, Gerald Hardwick, 40, left the residence in a vehicle.
