Summary: A male, identified as Jonathan Wolf, reportedly called his ex-wife stating he had taken a large quantity of pills and was possibly suicidal. The ex-wife indicated he may be violent and was unsure if he had access to weapons, though there were guns in the house belonging to his brother. Police responded to the scene, where the male came to the door, identified himself, refused to speak with officers, and locked himself inside. The ex-wife and emergency services coordinated outside, and officers attempted to maintain communication and assess the risk. The incident involved a standoff, concern for the male's mental health and safety, and the potential presence of firearms.
