COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Police arrested a man after he barricaded himself inside his apartment and got into a fight with police before he was taken into custody Tuesday.

It happened just before 1 a.m. in the 3500 block of N. Carefree Circle.

According to authorities, the suspect, 32-year-old Michael Marsh, had an arrest warrant for assault in the second degree, violation of a protection order and child abuse.
