Suspect in Lower Southampton standoff ID'd
LOWER SOUTHAMPTON, Pa. (WPVI) -- Police have identified the man who they say barricaded himself in a home in Bucks County early Wednesday.
Authorities say 64-year-old Edward Naumowicz is facing a list of charges after forcing a police standoff that lasted more than four hours.
The incident began at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday at a home on Somers Avenue near Brownsville Road in Lower Southampton Township.
Police say Naumowicz and another man, who were renting the property together, got into an argument that ended when Naumowicz threatened the other man.
That man called police, who told him to leave immediately.
Officers arrived at the home a short time later.
When they did, police say Naumowicz, whom they believed to be armed, refused to open the door. A standoff ensued.
Chopper 6 HD was over the scene at 7:30 a.m., as the situation was still unfolding.
Aerial images showed two vehicles outside a home, and a large number of police vehicles at what appeared to be a staging area about a block away.
After more than four hours, police say Naumowicz surrendered without incident.
No one was hurt.
