After a two-day investigation, police said they've taken a man with a gun in Milford into custody.
Police said 49-year-old Charles Aungst called officers at around 12 a.m. Wednesday and said he was locked in his second floor apartment. He went on to say that he shot the door lock to get it open, but wasn't able to.
When police arrived to the scene, they said they saw the man with what appeared to be a shotgun or other type of long gun.
Businesses in the Bridgeport Avenue area closed when the incident first happened, and they were allowed to reopen hours later. Police said Aungst may have been suffering from mental health problems.

Officers said they tried to contact Aungst several times but he didn't respond. Detectives were able to get a search warrant for the home and an arrest warrant for Aungst.
At about 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Aungst walked out of the house on his own and was arrested. Investigators then searched the house and found a loaded shotgun, several shotgun rounds, a loaded revolver, a taser, a crossbow with arrows and drug paraphernalia inside.
