Chatham-Kent police said they received multiple 911 calls regarding a man behaving in a way that raised concerns about his well-being and the safety of others.
Police said the 48-year-old man, who was also wanted on an outstanding warrant connected to a separate criminal matter, barricaded himself inside a home on Pine Street in Chatham Monday night when officers arrived.
