Police say a noise dispute between neighbors is what started an armed standoff that lasted nearly three hours in a Sioux Falls neighborhood Saturday night. Police arrested 35-year old Scott Eric Jacobson just before 10:00, on two counts of Aggravated Assault, after he allegedly pulled out a gun and threatened to kill two of his neighbors.

The standoff took place at an apartment building near the corner of 8th and Fairfax Avenue in Sioux Falls.

Neighbors in this area, including the daughter of one of the women who had the gun pulled on her, told us it started with name calling and escalated from there. It sure wasn't the Saturday night Jason Andrews was looking forward too. He came home just after the confrontation between neighbors. "I go inside and the next thing I know cops are out here and then I go back out the the garage and I had a cop in between my garage and my wall."

Dawnee Mendoza's mom is one of the women 35 year-old Scott Eric Jacobsen allegedly pulled the handgun on. "He went got the gun, maybe pulled it on my mom and then my mom called the cops."

By the time police got here Jacobsen had already gone back in his apartment and wouldn't come out and talk to police. Officers then set up a perimeter, called in the SWAT team and evacuated neighbors. For close to three hours the stand-off continued. As police and neighbors waited, some told us they've had noise problems with this address before. Kelly Emerson told KSFY, "I'm not quite sure what person it is, but there's always a problem over there."

Just before 10 o'clock police were able to talk to Jacobsen. Sioux Falls Police Information Officer Sam Clemens said, "he came out of his apartment on his own. After he came out he was taken into custody."

Jacobsen was taken to jail and charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault. And even though it's over, this was one more hassle Jason says he just doesn't need. "This is our first house, we just bought it like last April, and we're kind of sorry that we bought it because we're tired of people always throwing garbage in our yard and we have to pick that up, or people always block our driveway so we can't get in or out."

Jacobsen is expected to make a first court appearance Monday.
