When officers arrived they found Belmore on the balcony. He was ordered to put his hands up and walk into the parking lot, but did not comply, according to police. A crisis negotiator was called in but could not convince Belmore to surrender.
Police ultimately fired a "less-lethal" round and took Belmore into custody. He was charged with reckless conduct with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest.
