A 44-year-old man was taken into custody following a near four-hour standoff with police on Tuesday. The man, whose name was not publicly released, refused to speak to officers performing a welfare check at the man’s residence, at the Whitmore Court Apartments on Jefferson Street. Based on initial phone conversations with public safety dispatchers, police say the man gave the impression of being a threat to himself, or to others. Additionally, he implied that he had a firearm of some sort with him, according to police. Police negotiators from the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Special Operations Team and the Saratoga Springs Fire Department responded to the scene. Negotiations went on for close to four hours and finally broke down, police said. Based upon this lack of progress, the decision was made to make entry into the apartment, and the man was subsequently taken into custody. A black pistol, later found to be a plastic airsoft pistol, was recovered inside the apartment. The man was transported to Saratoga Hospital for evaluation.
