Police: Man wanted for mall theft barricades himself in home

A Jersey City man was arrested this weekend after a standoff with police.
Investigators say 41-year-old Johnny Nunez was wanted for stealing $80,000 in merchandise from the Newport Mall.
When they tried to serve a warrant Saturday morning, they say Nunez barricaded himself inside a bathroom in a building on Dwight Street.
He claimed to have a weapon and a hostage.
Negotiators talked to him for nearly 90 minutes before he surrendered.
Officials say he was alone, with no weapon.
