FINDLAY, Ohio — EDITOR'S NOTE: The attached video originally aired on May 12, 2021.
A situation involving an armed man barricaded in Findlay has ended peacefully, police confirmed Monday.
The incident began shortly after 4:15 p.m. at S & S Landscaping and Tree Service on Olive Street. Findlay police were initially called to the scene for a welfare check, according to Lt. Justin Hendren.
The man, later identified as 34-year-old Damien Talbot of North Baltimore, Ohio, was alone, refused to exit the business and had barricaded himself inside, police claim.
Emergency response teams from the Findlay Police Department and Hancock County began negotiations with Talbot. Just before 9:15 p.m., teams deployed gas into the business and Talbot surrendered.
No injuries were reported.
Talbot was arrested on an outstanding felony warrant from Wood County and turned over to the Wood County Sheriff's Office. He may face additional charges pending the outcome of the investigation into Monday's incident.
This is the second incident involving a barricaded subject in Findlay this month.
On June 1, a domestic incident that had started in Michigan led to a Findlay hotel.
The man and woman in that case refused to leave the hotel room and barricaded themselves inside for roughly 12 hours. Afterward, a man was arrested on felony warrants and a woman detained for medical evaluation.
