A New Hampshire man was taken into custody on Wednesday after an hours-long standoff with police.
Around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, state police troopers responded to a home on Battle Street in Webster in an effort to serve a resident with a domestic violence protection order.
The order was for 48-year-old James Carpentier, of Webster, who was inside a camper located on the property at the time. When a trooper knocked on the camper door, Carpentier became uncooperative and made statements indicating that he had a gun. He refused to come out of the camper, resulting in an hours-long standoff with police.
During this time, additional law enforcement agencies responded to the scene, along with the New Hampshire State Police SWAT Unit, and a portion of Battle Street was closed for public safety reasons.
After extended negotiations, state police were ultimately able to convince Carpentier to surrender peacefully and exit the camper.
Carpentier was taken into custody and charged with obstructing government administration and resisting arrest.
The incident remains under investigation, state police said.
