MILL CREEK — A man was arrested Friday afternoon after a stand-off with SWAT south of Mill Creek. No injuries were reported.

A man had barricaded himself inside a home along 17th Drive SE, south of 175th Place SE. His family called 911 after he got into a fight with his brother, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. The man was accused of stealing money from his brother to buy heroin.

He came outside to be arrested around 3 p.m. No one else was believed to be in the house. Police planned to obtain a judge’s permission to search the property.
