Alvarado police offers were dispatched to the detention center in the 1200 block of Sunflower Lane around 10:56 p.m. Friday, according to the Johnson County sheriff’s office. The call was made to investigate a report of “a suspicious person.”

A federal law enforcement source told CBS News that local police arrested eight people. The official said some of those apprehended were wearing body armor.

Several armed people were taken into custody after officers responded to a report of a suspicious person outside the detention center, officials said.
