Jordan Pappalardo, age 26, of Manchester, New Hampshire, was arrested on Monday, April 26, in Connecticut by Manchester Police after he told officers he had a gun and refused to come out of the Courtyard By Marriott, said Lt. Ryan Shea of the Manchester Police Department.
The incident began around 10:30 p.m. when officers attempted to contact Pappalardo who had an extraditable warrant out of New Hampshire, said Shea.
Upon contact, Pappalardo told officers he had a firearm and threatened to shoot officers. A perimeter was set up and the area rooms were evacuated.
Resources from the Capitol Region Emergency Services Team responded and began communicating with Pappalardo.

Pappalardo was charged with:
