Apparently a homeowner was on the phone with somebody that he knew and that person on the other end of the phone felt that this homeowner was experiencing some kind of a Mental Health crisis and called Fairfax County police who wanted to come and try and serve an emergency Mental Health order to bring that person in safely for Mental Health evaluation and when they came to serve the order the homeowner refused to come out and so that is what began the barricade situation.
