EMS first responded to a 7-Eleven at Fair Avenue and Interstate 37 at around 6 a.m., when an employee said a man was passed out in his truck.
EMS responded and saw the man was holding a gun. Due to the gun, EMS called the police, and SWAT officers later responded. Moscoso said the truck also had bullet holes in it.
SWAT officers surrounded the truck, yelled at him in English and Spanish over a loudspeaker, sounded off their sirens and fired off a concussion grenade.
The man did not react in any way until SWAT forced entry, got him out and woke him up, Moscoso said.
Despite the bullet holes in the truck, he was not hurt but possibly under the influence of something.
Moscoso said it appeared the truck was stolen, and they also found what appeared to be a package containing some kind of drugs.
If he is the person who police think he is, he has outstanding warrants, Moscoso said.
Streets in the area were closed due to the situation, but they have since reopened.
