Courtney Toddman {BSO

A man barricaded himself inside a Tamarac home Tuesday before Broward Sheriff’s Office crisis negotiators helped bring a peaceful end to the standoff, authorities said.

Deputies responded to the 5700 block of Madison Avenue around 6 a.m. after Courtney Toddman, 28, barricaded himself inside the residence and threatened to harm himself and others, according to BSO.

BSO SWAT Team and crisis negotiators responded to the scene, and authorities evacuated the surrounding area. After several hours deputies took Toddman into custody, the agency said.

It was not immediately clear whether Toddman had been criminally charged as of Tuesday afternoon.
