Chaos in Lake Havasu City last week as a domestic violence call escalated to a standoff with a weapon-wielding man, police scrambled to contain the situation, according to authorities.

The Lake Havasu City Police Department received a call on April 18, about a domestic dispute involving firearms; their Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team was deployed to the scene around McCulloch Bay following reports of Yordi Mulder holed up, armed and dangerous authorities were unable to reestablish contact with Mulder and later concluded he had escaped the residence.

A break in the case came three days later when police tracked down Mulder at a residence in the 3000 block of Silversmith Dr. Here they successfully arrested the suspect without further incident, as Lake Havasu City Police Department indicated in a recent press release.

Authorities have since charged Mulder with aggravated assault per domestic violence and disorderly conduct with a weapon per domestic violence, his initial court appearance resulted in a $5000 cash only bond which Mulder posted at the Lake Havasu City Justice court ensuring his temporary freedom pending further court dates.

Further details on this case remain sparse, but the Lake Havasu City Police Department’s official announcement provides the available facts, while the investigation continues and Sergeant Kyle Ridgway has been listed as the point of contact for the public seeking more information.
