A three-hour standoff with police in Middlesex Borough ended peacefully and without injury, according to the county prosecutor.
Authorities have not released a lot of information about the situation, but say that police were called to a Mountain Avenue home around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday for reports of a distraught man.
Negotiators were able to convince the man, who was not identified, to leave his home a little more than three hours after they arrived.
Police say that no charges have been filed, but the man is in custody pending the outcome of the investigation.
