A 29-year-old Donkin male is in custody after resisting arrest and barricading himself inside a Glace Bay residence earlier this afternoon. Officers walking foot patrol on Brookside Street attempted to arrest the man on an outstanding warrant, when he ran into a residence, refused to come out and claimed he had a gun. Members of the Emergency Response Team contained the area and officers successfully negotiated with the man to come out of the house and into police custody. Police have confirmed there was no weapon involved; charges are pending.

Motorists: take caution in the area of George and Townsend Streets during construction. Use alternate routes where possible!
