Man Holds Police At Bay Inside Park

Charges are pending against an armed man who held Columbus police at bay in Northcrest Park yesterday. Police say the unnamed man was suicidal and held officers at bay for seven hours in a wooded area of the park. The incident forced the lockdown of Centennial High School and evacuations of nearby homes.
