A man has safely been taken into custody after a standoff at a Tigard apartment complex.

On Thursday, October 31st, 2024, about 3:30PM Tigard Police officers responded to the Syngii Apartments on SW Hawks Beard Street. Officers learned a man tried to break into an apartment unit, was outside yelling, had access to weapons and was making threats of harm.

Officers surrounded the apartment complex and worked to communicate with the man in question, who remained uncooperative with officers. Washington County’s Tactical Negotiations Team and Crisis Negotiations Unit responded to the scene to assist officers. Due to the man’s access to weapons and lack of cooperation with officers, residents of the complex were initially asked to stay in their apartment units (shelter in place). About 6:45PM, residents were evacuated to a community room at the apartment complex as a precaution while officers worked to resolve the situation.

The man was identified as Daniel Bean, a 38-year-old resident of the complex. Around 8:30PM he was safely taken into custody on charges including first-degree attempted burglary, unlawful use of a weapon, menacing and disorderly conduct. He was checked out at the hospital, then was booked into the Washington County Jail. Residents were allowed back to their apartment units about 9:30PM. 

We’d like to thank the residents of the complex for their patience during this situation, as well as Westgate Baptist Church for allowing officers to use their facility to get out of the rain and our partners with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Hillsboro and Beaverton Police for their assistance, and the King City Police Department for covering Tigard police calls while officers responded to this situation.
