WHEATFIELD, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Niagara County man, wanted on felony warrants in Florida, is now facing even more charges after he allegedly barricaded himself inside his home in the Town of Wheatfield.
The sheriff's office says they tried to arrest 53-year-old Daniel Couturiaux outside that home on Krueger Road Thursday morning. Authorities say they tried to use a taser when the suspect fled, but they were unsuccessful.
Police say Couturiaux and a woman barricaded themselves inside. Both eventually came out peacefully and were charged with obstructing governmental administration.
Police say there are active felony warrants out for Couturiaux in Daytona Beach, Florida. He remains in custody pending extradition to Volusia County in Florida.
