Around 4:30 p.m., investigators said officers arrived and the man went back inside the home.

An investigation revealed the man is on probation and under a condition to not have contact with some of those same neighbours.

Authorities tried to negotiate with the man until around 6:45 p.m. before arresting and charging him with causing a disturbance and two counts of breaching a probation order.

A 42-year-old was held for a bail hearing on Thursday.
