Around 4:45am Thursday morning, four people inside the residence surrendered to police without incident. Three of the four were released unconditionally.

The fourth person, a 31-year-old Meaford man, was arrested on an outstanding warrant.

He is charged with assault with a weapon, spousal assault, assault causing bodily harm, uttering threats, forcible confinement, and mischief under $5,000.

He is scheduled to appear for a bail hearing later on Thursday.
