Tense situation in Clarence ends peacefully

WBFO News File Photo

Erie County Sheriff deputies responded to a residence on Old Goodrich Road in Clarence around 6:40 p.m. Sunday, after concerned family members could no longer contact the male subject who had made alarming statements.  

Deputies arrived at the residence determined it was not safe to approach the house. Subsequently, neighbors were contacted and requested they stay inside their dwellings.  When additional deputies arrived at the scene, further precautions were taken by closing surrounding streets.

After several attempts to contact the subject via phone, deputies  convinced him to exit the house, bringing the evening to a peaceful resolution. No charges were filed against the individual.
