The homeowner was away and told police nobody was suppose to be inside however officers could see a person in the window.

Police say the accused has a history of violence toward police and could have access to weapons, so that’s why the SWAT team was called.

After hours of negotiations, a woman came out and was arrested on unrelated charges of breaches of undertaking as well as being unlawfully in a dwelling house.
