MILFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut man believed to be armed who had barricaded himself in his apartment surrendered to police Friday after a three-day standoff.
In a Facebook post, police in Milford said the man, who was not identified, was safely taken into custody Friday afternoon.
The man had claimed his landlord locked him into his apartment overnight Tuesday and that he had tried to shoot the lock off.
Police remained at the scene in varying numbers for the duration of the standoff, and even cut off gas and electricity to the apartment to try and get him to come out.
Hearst Connecticut reported officers believed they saw the man with a shotgun or other long gun but hadn’t been able to confirm whether a shot was fired in the apartment. Police said the man didn’t threaten to harm himself or others.
It wasn’t immediately known what charges he could face.
