Metro Police vehicles block the entrance to the parking garage at the Gold Coast casino after authorities said a man refused to get out of a stolen vehicle on Monday, June 6, 2016.

A man hiding in a stolen car at the Gold Coast parking garage engaged in a nearly two-hour standoff with officers today, according to Metro Police.

Police responded about noon to the casino at 4000 W. Flamingo Road, Officer Laura Meltzer said. The man was taken into custody about 2 p.m. after initially ignoring officers’ orders to get out of the car, she said.

It wasn’t clear what, if any, charges he might face. His name has not yet been released.

No roads in the area were closed.
