On 04/05/2016 at approx. 7:36p.m. the Rehoboth Police Department received a phone call regarding a distraught male party at #306 Plain Street.  The caller reported the male was possibly armed with a shotgun and threatening to harm himself and police if encountered.  Upon arrival in the area the police made contact with a 63 year old male who immediately became hostile towards the police, yelling threats and obscenities, and failing to comply with verbal commands to exit the residence.  For approximately 1 hour the police maintained a perimeter around the home and made repeated attempts to calm the male and gain his compliance.  After an approximate 1 hour stand-off the police were forced to deploy a less-than-lethal shotgun (firing bean bag projectiles) in order to temporarily subdue the male so he could be taken into custody.  After securing the male the police were able to search the home and determine no other occupants were present, no shotgun was found.  The male was immediately transported to Morton Hospital for medical and psychological evaluation.  The initial investigation revealed the male did not reside at the residence and was the home of a family member.  The Rehoboth Police investigation is on-going and no criminal charges have been filed.  The Rehoboth Police were assisted by the Swansea Police Department with the incident
