A heavy police presence was spotted at a home in Theodore early Friday afternoon.

According to several social media posts, the large force of police was located outside a home on Idlemoore Dr. SWAT team members were pictured as part of the force.

Reportedly the reason for the police presence was to execute a warrant.

AL.com has contacted the Mobile Police Department for any further information.

Update: A statement from Mobile Police Chief William Jackson said the officers were executing a warrant for an individual accused of several domestic violence and sex crimes.

However, the officers could not determine if the individual was at the home and Jackson ordered them to stand down.

“This afternoon detectives from my Special Victims Unit, Tactical Intelligence Unit, as well as SWAT officers, attempted to locate a subject with multiple domestic violence and sex crimes warrants in the 6000 block of Idlemoore Drive,” Jackson said.

On further investigation, my officers were unable to determine if the subject was inside the residence. On making this determination, I ordered my team to stand down and to keep gathering evidence to definitively locate this dangerous subject. As always, my officers won’t stop until this subject is arrested and justice is done.”
