In response, police cordoned off a large area to ensure public safety and sought assistance from the Eastern Region OPP Emergency Response Unit.

Smiths Falls Police and OPP Eastern Region Crisis Negotiators worked together to resolve the situation peacefully. 

The male eventually exited the residence without incident and was taken into custody. A shotgun was seized from the residence. No injuries were reported.

The 32-year-old Smiths Falls resident now faces charges related to domestic mischief and several firearms offences. He is scheduled for a bail hearing this afternoon.
