BLACK RIVER, N.Y. -- A Jefferson County man is facing charges following a standoff in Black River. Authorities responded to a home at 106 Wendell Lane around 9:45 p.m. Sunday after a report of a suicidal man who had barricaded in the house with multiple weapons.

"He was wearing a bullet proof vest, had multiple weapons with him. As he attempted to flee, we were able stop him with our armored Humvee and there were numerous non-lethal rounds fired," said Lt. Michael Peterson, Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept.

No one was injured.

Spears faces numerous charges including criminal possession of a weapon, criminal mischief, and reckless endangerment.
