Police lay charges against man involved in Milverton standoff
Perth County Ontario Provincial Police have laid multiple charges against the 31-year-old man who barricaded himself inside a Milverton, Ont. home Tuesday.
The incident drew a heavy police presence, including tactical teams, crisis negotiators and the canine unit to the small community 45 minutes northwest of Kitchener.
Police said officers first responded to the home on Pacific Avenue around 10:07 a.m. for a disturbance that they described as a family dispute.
The man involved then barricaded himself inside the home, and additional units were called in.
After about five hours of negotiations, around 3:45 p.m., the man was seen being dragged out and put in a police car.
Police said no one was injured in the incident.
On Thursday, OPP announced the man had been charged with assault with a weapon, assaulting a peace officer, forcible confinement, failure to comply with a release order and failure to comply with a probation order.
