A Henry County man was arrested after barricading himself inside of a home. On Sunday at 9 pm, deputies from the Henry County Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic incident at 157 Wedgewood Rd. in Ridgeway.

While in route to the residence, deputies received an update from dispatchers that 32-year-old Ethan Harr brandished a firearm at family members in the residence and threatened to harm them and himself.

When deputies arrived, family members had safely exited the residence. Deputies were advised that Harr was still in possession of a firearm. At that time, patrol deputies attempted to contact Harr using the PA system in the deputies’ patrol vehicle. Harr continued to disregard any attempts to contact him.

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team and Crisis & Hostage Negotiators were called in to assist in a peaceful resolution to this event. Negotiators attempted to make contact with Harr for several hours before he exited the residence and surrendered to deputies.

Harr has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, brandishing a firearm, and obstructing justice. Harr is being held in the Henry County Adult Detention Center under no bond.
