WYOMING, Mich. — After initially refusing to come out of his garage, a man armed with a handgun surrended to the Wyoming Department of Public Safety Sunday night following a stand-off.

The Wyoming Department of Public Safety arrived at 3452 Woodward Ave. SW near Peppercorn Apartments to help resolve a domestic dispute.

Upon arrival, officers were told a man involved in an argument has gone into a nearby garage unattached to the apartment building.

The man had two valid arrest warrants.

As officers approached the garage to arrest the man, they saw he was armed with a gun and refused to exit the garage.

The Kent County Prosecutor's Office has issued charges on the man for carrying a concealed weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, resisting and obstructing a police officer, and felony firearm,

The man's name is being withheld until he is arraigned on Tuesday.
