ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A report of a gunshots and a woman yelling for help brought police and then the SWAT team to a home in southeast Albuquerque Thursday night.

By the time the standoff ended six hours later, police reported the woman to be safe and uninjured.  The man accused of holding her against her will was in a hospitall.

The call that brought police to a home in the 8300 block of Frank SE came in just before 9:30 p.m.

When officers learned Corina Harvey was not being allowed to leave, they called her on her cell phone and got her safely out of the home, according to a statement from the Albuquerque Police Department.

Details of how she got out of the home were not released.

Police then surrounded the home and using a loudspeaker ordered the suspect, later identified as Brian J. Moya, 50, to come out.  When he refused, the APD SWAT team took over.

After obtaining a search warrant to enter the home, SWAT officers took Moya into custody shortly before 4 a.m. 

He was admitted to UNM Hospital and was still there late Friday morning, a hospital spokesperson said.  The nature of Moya's medical condition was not released.
