New details have emerged about a police standoff in northern Ontario that sent a school and day care into lockdown last month after police lay intimate partner violence-related charges.
Officers were called to a home on Algonquin Street in Kapuskasing around 10:45 a.m. Nov. 18 when a "domestic disturbance" escalated into the suspect barricading themselves inside, Ontario Provincial Police said in a news release.
The road was closed as specialized police units and crisis negotiators descended on the scene.
After eight hours of negotiation, police were able to apprehend the male suspect around 7 p.m.
He was taken to hospital via ambulance for assessment and care.
Police laid 14 charges against him Dec. 8 following medical treatment.
The man wasn't in hospital the entire time over the last three weeks, OPP Const. Kyler Brouwer told CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca in an email Tuesday.
