Upon arrival, the 28-year-old suspect, James Pollard, locked himself in the residence and refused to speak with police.
Officers were informed that he had a firearm and had made threats of self-harm, according to Jamestown police.
The Greene County Sheriff’s Office Regional Crisis Negotiation and SWAT Teams responded to the scene, and a search warrant was obtained by Jamestown Police.
While in the process of serving the warrant, Pollard started speaking with negotiators and willingly exited the residence, according to police.
He was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Greene County Jail. He has been charged with Domestic Violence and Inducing Panic, both misdemeanors.
Several agencies responded to assist Jamestown Police, including the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, Xenia Police Division, Cedarville Police Department, Silvercreek Township Fire Department, Greene Central Communications, the Jamestown Utilities Department, and Greene County Animal Control.
“The assistance provided by each of these agencies greatly contributed to a quick, peaceful resolution of this situation,” Jamestown Police Chief Brian Noah said.
