Armed man arrested after stand-off with authorities in Central Laredo

LAREDO, TX. (KGNS) - A man is facing charges after a serious altercation in central Laredo.

The incident happened on Saturday morning at the 4100 block of San Francisco.

The man was later identified as 28-year-old Roberto Rodriguez.

He was charged by the DEA for felon in possession of a firearm.
