An Oakmont man was taken into custody Monday morning in connection with an overnight standoff with borough police and Allegheny County SWAT.
Officers were dispatched to the 600 block of Allegheny River Boulevard shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday for a welfare check on a man threatening to harm himself.
Police Chief Michael Ford said the man refused to open the door and made threats to responding officers. Allegheny County SWAT was called in to assist, and a section of the boulevard was closed off by police.
