A Swat team and a large number of armed police have responded to an incident just more than a mile from where England begin their World Cup campaign.
Dozens of Arlington Police vehicles were stationed on West Division Street in the Texas city on Monday.
Police snipers, an armoured BearCat vehicle and police drones were used at the scene, with a huge number of officers sent to the area.
An officer at the scene described the alleged incident as “pretty serious”, with a weapon brandished by a suspect.
The incident took place short drive from the AT&T Stadium where the Three Lions face Croatia on Wednesday.
A spokesperson for the Arlington Police Department said the force were responding to a domestic dispute between a male and female at their home address.
She added: “The female resident was barricaded inside the home with additional occupants.
“The report shows that a weapon was produced but no injuries were reported. The suspect is now in custody and the investigation is ongoing.”
There is no indication the incident was connected to the World Cup or posed any threat to the tournament or its venues.
It comes days after some of England’s training equipment was stolen ahead of their arrival at their World Cup base in Kansas City.
Items included some of the team’s boots and official tournament balls.
The Independent understands none of the pieces of equipment were irreplaceable or essential for elite performance, while England staff have already been able to recover some of the missing items.
Two men have been charged in relation to the incident.
Mustafa Salik and Erfan Kamal both face a count of receiving stolen property, which carries up to seven years in prison.
The theft came as team staff were in transit from their pre-tournament base in Florida to the Swope Soccer Village in Missouri, where the England players are due to arrive on Saturday.
A vehicle transferring the training equipment was broken into, according to reports, while the players travelled separately. The items of training equipment were sent ahead of the arrival of the players.
Thomas Tuchel’s team have played two warm-up friendlies so far in the United States, against New Zealand and Costa Rica in Florida as they attempted to acclimatise to the conditions. The team also organised a behind-closed-doors match against a local team in Florida on Thursday.
