Woman in custody after standoff at Oklahoma Air National Guard base
Tulsa Police Bomb Squad officers were called to the scene after police received a report indicating a woman was driving around the complex with an unknown device, an official said Monday.
Police Sgt. Shane Tuell said officers were dispatched to the Air National Guard, near 46th Street North and U.S. 169, a little before noon because the Guard notified them of the woman's claims.
"She hasn't gone on the base itself, but she's claiming to have some type of a device in the vehicle," he said.
Police were involved with a standoff with the woman at the base's entrance, Tulsa police spokeswoman Demita Kinard said.
"She's claiming there is a war and the war is here," Kinard said of the woman.
Kinard said police received a call from a woman — believed to be the same person involved in the standoff — about 9:30 a.m., who claimed she was being kidnapped and was singing nursery rhymes, Kinard said.
Shortly later, police got a call from the Guard base saying there was a woman at the front gate.
Officers have not been able to confirm what type of device, if any, was in the woman's vehicle.
Police have identified the woman but aren't releasing her name yet because she is a "mentally ill individual," Kinard said.
