ANOTHER CRIMINAL CASE WRAPPED UPThe Buffalo News describes the suburb of Tonawanda as “sleepy,” but things were tense after a woman called police to say her son was holding two hostages in his home. The town’s SWAT team surrounded the residence and evacuated neighbors, but when they ordered the man via bullhorn to drop his weapons and come out, nothing happened. The woman insisted her son was armed, so police stood watch from 5:45 a.m. until they finally reached the man at 10:45 a.m. on his cell phone, and he stepped out as requested. He hadn’t heard the commotion because he was asleep. “It was just a guy who had too much to drink,” said police Capt. Jonathan Scott. “It turned out not to be a hostage situation.” Still, the unnamed man, who is on leave from the Marines after serving in Iraq, was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief and taken for a mental examination.
