A 24yearold Windsor man faces several charges after an eight hour standoff with police Saturday

Windsor Police Services have released the name of a man who barricaded himself into his home with a teenager.

Patrol officers were called to 643 Pierre Ave. around 8:30am Saturday for a domestic dispute. A stand-off ensued after weapons were believed to be involved.  Police surrounded the area between Wyandotte St. E. and Tuscarora St. with guns drawn. 

The WPS Tactical Unit breached the front door of the home and got a teenage boy out of the house at around 3pm, but a second man remained inside — the K-9 unit was sent in to retrieve the second man.

He was eventually brought out and given medical attention for minor bite wounds around 4pm

Investigators say  24-year-old Joe Bohnenschuh, of Windsor, was wanted on several warrants and has been charged with uttering death threats.
