DeWitt, N.Y. -- One man was arrested following an approximately two-hour police standoff in DeWitt Tuesday afternoon.
Around 2:41 p.m., police received reports of a domestic fight between a man and a woman on Wexford Road, according to a news release from DeWitt police. The dispute was reported by a third party that was not involved.
Police quickly identified the man involved in the incident, who had multiple warrants for his arrest, and determined he was possibly suicidal, they said.
When officers arrived at the home, police saw the man involved in front of the house before he ran inside and locked the door.
Police began setting up a perimeter around the house while they tried to make contact with people inside the home. They determined there was a woman locked inside the house as well, police said.
After around 30 minutes, officers were able to contact the woman and convince her to exit the home safely, police said. The man stayed inside the house.
DeWitt Police Crisis Negotiators unsuccessfully attempted to speak to him by phone and by using a bullhorn. After about an hour, they were able to speak to the man through a door.
Once they made contact with him, it took police about 15 minutes to convince him to come out. The man exited the house around 4:26 p.m. without further incident, police said.
The standoff lasted around one hour and forty minutes.
The male was arrested on multiple outstanding warrants but was not charged with anything stemming from the domestic incident or the standoff, police said.
He was brought to the Onondaga County Justice Center.
