WASHINGTONVILLE – A standoff with a man who barricaded himself inside a residence on South Street in the Village of Washingtonville Sunday evening ended peacefully when the 49-year-old man gave up.

At one point, authorities thought the man, whose name they did not release, had a gun. He did not and after SWAT and negotiating teams arrived, he came out of the building and was transported to the hospital for a mental health evaluation, Washingtonville Police said.

Assisting at the scene were Blooming Grove Police, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and State Police.

There were no injuries reported.
