Police serving an arrest warrant at east Salt Lake City home ended up in an overnight SWAT standoff that finally ended with five people detained and the seizure of illegal drugs and a vehicle.

Public safety dispatchers said officers were dispatched to 362 S. Strongs Court (850 East) at 10:14 p.m. Wednesday after a female fugitive was spotted at the address. Police did not immediately release her name.

Officers contacted the woman and arrested her without incident on her front porch. During the arrest, officers reportedly smelled a strong odor of marijuana, and saw drug paraphernalia in plain sight through a window.

Police then demanded that two men and two women inside the home come out. The females did so and were taken into custody but reportedly later released, as was the first woman, after she made arrangements to address her bench warrant.

However, the men — identified as Caleb Robert Gibson, 39, and Willie Neal Lemmon, 36 — refused to surrender and stayed inside the home.

Officers secured the scene and a SWAT team was dispatched. After several hours of attempted negotiations and bullhorn demands for surrender failed, tear gas grenades were tossed through the home's windows. Gibson and Lemmon — both wanted on felony arrest warrants for probation violation — finally came outside and gave up about 4 a.m. Thursday.

Police then applied for a search warrant to enter the home; marijuana, methaphetamine, prescription medications and cash were seized from the house and two vehicles parked outside the residence.

Gibson has an extensive criminal history. Third District Court records show numerous drug possession and distribution, theft, robbery and firearms convictions.

Utah Department of Corrections spokeswoman Brooke Adams confirmed Gibson had been on and off felony probation from 2003 to June 2009, when he began a 5-year prison term. He was released Feb. 25, 2014, only to return to custody July 30, 2015 on a parole violation. He was paroled again on Sept. 29, 2015, returned to prison one month later, and then paroled once more on Oct. 29, 2015.

His most recent release was on March 1 of this year, but yet another parole-related violation led to issuance of an arrest warrant on Aug. 18.

Lemmon's record is less extensive that Gibson's, but court records do show felony drug possession and distribution, prescription fraud and attempted robbery convictions. Lemmon had served prison time 2006-2008, and again 2010-2014, being released on probation in January 2015.

He had been on the run since December 2015, when a warrant was released for violating the terms of his parole.

Lemmon, along with Gibson, was expected to be returned to prison on the parole violation allegations.
