A SWAT team was called to a home in Southington for a reported disturbance Friday night, police said.

Officers responded to a home on Prospect Street after a neighbor reported the incident to police.

Because of a history of threats made by the suspect, a SWAT team was called in to assist.

The Central Region Emergency Response Team made entry into the home, and the man was ultimately found hiding, with the help of a police k9. He was safely removed from the house, according to police.

The person had five active arrest warrants with the Southington Police Department, including for threatening, according to officials.

Because of this incident, the man faces additional charges for interfering with an officer and disorderly conduct. He was held on bond and appeared in court Monday.

The SWAT team has since cleared the scene and officers are investigating.
