METHUEN, MASS. (WHDH) - Residents in Methuen encountered a SWAT scare overnight following the arrests of two people.
Officers responding to a disturbance at 91 Broadway for a report of a man with a gun arrested one suspect for firearm possession without a license, Methuen Police Chief Joseph Solomon said.
A second person was subsequently taken into custody on an open warrant, Solomon added.
While officers were on scene, a neighbor reported hearing someone else inside the apartment.
A SWAT team was called in after multiple failed attempts to contact anyone inside.
