The woman left the home when Batavia police arrived, along with an elderly woman who was also inside the home, but Ybarra barricaded himself in the basement, police said.

Police said they closed a portion of North Washington Avenue and ordered nearby residents to stay in their homes Thursday morning as they tried to get Ybarra to leave his home. Kane County deputies used drones, robots and a K-9 unit to find Ybarra, who was arrested without incident, police said.
