Through the window they saw a man hiding behind a ballistic shield, trying to open a gun safe.
They then found that the door was barricaded and called the office phone.
The man answered, "Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office" and pretended to be working for the county.
When he realized who he was talking to, he hung up and went back to trying to open the safe.
The deputies called for back up, which surrounded the building.
Eventually, they convinced the man to come out, but according to police he moved towards them aggressively, so a K9 was sent at him.
The dog bit the man, while subduing him, and officers arrested him.
Philip Thomas, forty-one, was treated for the bite and arrested.
Neither the dog nor any of the deputies were injured in the incident.
