Police called for a SWAT unit June 4 after a man locked himself into his room and threatened to shoot himself and officers who tried to enter the house.
Officers arrived at 9:59 p.m. June 4 at a house on Tributary Lane where the man had locked himself in his room. His parents told police the man is "very disabled" but said they didn't think he had any weapons. However, police reports said, the last time officers were called for a similar situation, they took a gun from the man. Two negotiators talked to him during a standoff that lasted for more than three hours. Police reports indicted the man said, "Someone's going to get hurt tonight."
A SWAT unit from Fairfield County arrived and entry to the house was gained by 1:16 a.m. No gun was recovered. Officers opted for a non-lethal "bean-bag" round to take the man down and handcuff him, police reports said. Medics took the man to a hospital.
