Man Barricades Himself Inside Comfort Suites Motel in The Colony: Police

The Colony Police arrested a man for allegedly firing a weapon and barricading himself in a Comfort Suites Motel room Thursday.

Officers responded to a report of gunfire just after noon at the motel on the 4700 block of Memorial Drive. When officers arrived on the scene, according to police, the man fired several more shots.

He was later identified as 51-year-old Scott Clark Zandi.

The motel was evacuated as Zandi barricaded himself in his room, police said. 

Officers attempted to breech the room but say Zandi jumped through the window of the room. He was treated for minor injuries at Baylor Scott and White Hospital before being taken into custody.

Charges against Zandi are pending, police said.

The motel remained closed Thursday evening as the investigation continues.
