HIGH POINT, N.C. — There was a heavy police presence after a police chase in High Point Wednesday afternoon.
High Point police were made aware of a person that possibly had a gun with them on the 700 block of East Commerce Avenue.
Just before 3 p.m., officers saw a person matching the suspect's description riding a skateboard around East Green Drive and Cable Street and tried to talk to him.
The suspect was identified as 19-year-old Jae'Vian Rivera.
Rivera got off his skateboard and ran from officers. He was shortly arrested.
Detectives and K9 officers found a gun in the area where Rivera ran. He was charged with resist, delay or obstruct a police officer, carrying a concealed gun and impeding flow of traffic.
Detectives went back to East Commerce Avenue to do some door knocking in the area. Several people ran inside the home and tried to jump out the back window.
The people then barricaded themselves inside the home. Officers then got a warrant to search the home.
As officers tried to negotiate with the people in the home, a crowd gathered outside. Officers put up crime scene tape to keep the crowd back.
Nine people then came out the home and were arrested. Two people broke through the crime scene tape and refused to listen to commands from officers.
Ronnie Ellerbee, 44, was arrested and faces multiple charges, including two counts of resist.
Luke Ingram, 26, was charged with assault on a law enforcement officer.
The rest of the crowd rushed toward the home, prompting officers to spray an OC fogger on the ground to keep other people away.
Several officers responded to help with crowd control during the investigation.
A judge granted a search warrant for the home on East Commerce Avenue.
Detectives seized a gun, 6.5 grams of crack cocaine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.
Several officers and units helped with the investigation.
This investigation is ongoing.
