A 21-year-old male barricaded himself in a house on the 900 block of McKinley Avenue after officers arrived to serve a misdemeanor menacing warrant, according to Capt. Will Mathews of the Auburn Police Division.
Mathews said officers believed he was armed, so they sealed the area while they waited for him to respond by telephone.
No shots were fired, and there were no hostages, according to Mathews.
“This is unusual,” said Will O’Brien, who lives on McKinley Avenue.
O’Brien said he saw several police cars arrive on the scene.
Mathews said the 21-year-old was taken into custody and will face the menacing charges, but does not think there will be any other charges.
The scene was cleared at approximately 5 p.m.
