NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A dispute between neighbors led to an armed standoff with police in which a woman and her two kids were held against their will at a Long Island home on Friday, police said.
Nassau County Police said Saturday that officers responded to a dispute between 67-year-old Michael Glenn and his neighbors at a house on East Pennywood Avenue, near Nassau Road, in Roosevelt around 12 p.m.
Glenn, who lives next door, brandished a rifle as he argued with another man at the home, police said.
When officers arrived, Glenn refused to speak with them or let them into the house, according to police.
The officers learned a woman and her two children were inside the home and were “in fear for their lives and wanted to exit,” police said.
Officers set up a perimeter around the house and called in the Emergency Services Unit and the Bureau of Special Operations.
Police said the woman and the two kids left the home a short time later and were unharmed.
Glenn was arrested, police said. He faces a long list of charges, including menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm, endangering the welfare of a child and unlawful imprisonment.
It wasn’t clear what led to the dispute or what the relationship is between the woman and the second man.
