Officers arriving at the scene made contact with the victim outside of the residence. The victim said the man was inside the residence intoxicated and that there were weapons inside the house.
Police attempted to make contact with the 44-year-old man, who did not respond to the officers. Because of his access to weapons and unknown location in the residence, Franklin police requested the Warren County Tactical Response Unit for assistance.
Police negotiators were unable to make contact with the man, and the decision was made to make entry into the residence. He was eventually located hiding inside the residence and was taken into custody without incident. The initial police charge against him is domestic violence, a first-degree misdemeanor.
The man is being held without bond at the Warren County Jail. He is scheduled to be arraigned at 11:45 a.m. Friday Feb. 24 in Franklin Municipal Court, according to Franklin police.
