4-Hour Stratford Standoff Ends Peacefully

Police say a four-hour standoff that started in the early morning hours when a man barricaded himself inside his Stratford home and threatened to harm himself has ended without injuries.

The standoff began at about 2 a.m. Monday and ended about four hours later when the man was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, according to Stratford police.

Officers responded to the home to check on the 37-year-old man after receiving a report that he was suicidal.

A SWAT team and negotiators were called in when the man threatened to shoot himself.

The man was taken to the hospital for an evaluation.
