WHITEWATER TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A man is in custody after an overnight SWAT standoff in Whitewater Township, investigators said.
Officers from multiple police departments — including some in heavy-armored SWAT response vehicles — were seen going in and out of the Westbrook Village Mobile Home Park off of S.R. 128 Tuesday night.
The incident started as a domestic dispute, investigators said. The suspect, who court documents identify as Michael McMillen Jr., allegedly barricaded himself inside his home with his four kids.
According to court documents he had several guns in the home.
Several residents of the park had to be evacuated and were displaced for nearly 6 hours, investigators said.
The standoff ended around 1 a.m. Wednesday. McMillen was arrested on an inducing panic charge and four charges of endangering children, according to court documents.
S.R. 128 remained open during the investigation.
Residents in the area were let back into the neighborhood shortly after the standoff ended.
McMillen will be in court Wednesday morning.
According to other court documents WCPO found, it appears McMillen was involved in a similar incident in 2014 where he allegedly barricaded himself and a small child in a home.
