RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has charged a man following an armed and barricaded incident that occurred in Timberlea.
Shortly after midnight on June 1, RCMP officers responded to a disturbance at a residence on Lakehigh Cres.
Investigators learned that a man armed with a knife had gained entry into the home through the front door and threatened to harm himself. When a female occupant, who was known to the man, asked him to leave, he refused and barricaded himself inside.
After approximately three hours of communicating with the RCMP Crisis Negotiation Team, the man exited the home and was safely arrested.
The 33-year-old woman and three children who were inside the home at the time of the incident were unharmed.
The man has been charged with two counts of Failure to Comply with a Probation Order and Mischief. He was remanded in custody yesterday and is scheduled to appear in Halifax Provincial court today.
