MENOMINEE, Mich. (WLUK) -- Two arrests were made after a standoff in Michigan, near the Wisconsin border.
Just before 7:30 a.m. Thursday, authorities were called to W6122 18th Avenue in Menominee, Michigan for a report of domestic assault and the brandishing of a firearm.
Upon arrival, officers learned a male, armed with a handgun, had barricaded himself inside the residence after pointing the firearm at another individual.
Authorities established a perimeter around the residence while a Menominee County Sheriff’s Office negotiator attempted to request a peaceful surrender.
Neighboring residents were advised of the situation and had the option to evacuate or shelter in place.
Deputies say the male subject refused the negotiator's request, leading to the deployment of additional resources from the Marinette County Special Response Team, the Marinette Police Department Tactical Response Unit, and the Menominee Police Department Robotics Unit.
As negotiations continued into the afternoon, the male suspect's repeated failure to comply prompted the tactical units to deploy OC gas into the residence.
The male subject exited the home unarmed and was taken into custody.
A female subject was also arrested in connection to the incident.
Both are currently held at the Menominee County Jail, pending arraignment.
