An armed man who Kissimmee police say threatened his ex-girlfriend was arrested Monday after he took refuge in the woods, forcing the closure of Carroll Street between Thacker Avenue and John Young Parkway. Nearby Kissimmee Utility Authority offices also were forced to close temporarily during the early-morning standoff. Eduardo Galindo, 43, was arrested on suspicion of domestic aggravated stalking and was being held Monday at the Osceola County Jail without bail. Officers tried to find Galindo, who was armed with a 9 mm handgun, overnight and confronted him in the wooded field, they said. Galindo approached SWAT team members in what investigators say was an effort to get them to shoot him, but he was subdued without serious injury. The street reopened by 9 a.m.
