After about five hours of negotiations, the standoff with a man armed with a knife in Bowling Green is over.
The man, who has not been identified, was arrested and taken to St. Charles Hospital for a medical and psychological evaluation, said BG Deputy Police Chief Justin White. Charges against him are pending.
The man surrendered to police around 11:30 a.m.
The police division received a phone call at 6:39 this morning from a staff member at a Harbor group home, at 801 N. College Ave., that a resident there was making threats with a knife toward staff.
Bowling Green Police Division negotiated with the man, White said. Every one else in the home left safely, and there were no hostages.
The Special Response Team from the Wood County Sheriff’s Office is also on the scene.
