1 arrested after portion of downtown Noblesville closed down

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — One man has been arrested after an attempt to serve a warrant led to a portion of downtown Noblesville being closed down Tuesday afternoon.

The Noblesville Police Department has arrested 27-year-old David Vu of Noblesville. He had been wanted for felony counts of domestic battery and strangulation after being charged on Nov. 2.

Around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, the Noblesville Police Department announced it was conducting an “active police investigation” in downtown Noblesville and asked people to avoid the area around 8th and Hannibal streets. That’s a few blocks south of the Hamilton County Courthouse.

Police said they believed Vu was armed with a knife.

“Several attempts were made to get the subject to surrender but all were unsuccessful,” police said in a statement. “After all attempts of negotiations were exhausted, tactical officers forced entry into the residence and took the subject into custody.”

After being taken into custody, Vu was hospitalized with “minor injuries,” according to police.

He will face a new charge of resisting arrest.

At 7:02 p.m., Noblesville police tweeted that the “investigation has concluded and traffic is now back open.”
