The incident took place in Levittown around 3:40 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 11 at the Kent Garden Apartments on Division Avenue.

According to Nassau County PD detectives, officers responded to the Kent Garden Apartments for a disturbance. 

Upon arrival, it was determined that Isaac Kodsi, age 35, of Levittown was involved in an incident involving another tenant in the apartment complex.

When police attempted to make contact, Kodsi barricaded himself inside his home and made threats to harm the officers, Nassau County police said.

Officers then requested assistance from the Special Operations and Emergency Service Units, and the Hostage Negotiation Team. 

The officers were eventually able to have Kodsi agree to come out and he was arrested without incident and transported to an area hospital for evaluation. 

No injuries were reported.

Kodsi will be charged with making a terroristic threat and criminal contempt on Friday, Aug. 12, police said. 

A further investigation determined that Kodsi was responsible for two incidents that occurred in Levittown on Saturday, June 18, in which he was charged with two counts of petit larceny. He was also arrested in March and charged with burglary.
