WV KNIFE AND GUN CLUB - Man Baricades Self Seven Hours

(12/08/2010)
MAN BARRICADES SELF FOR SEVEN HOURS - A Harpers Ferry man was arrested Sunday after a stand-off with police and charged with domestic battery and domestic assault after barricading himself in his residence, according to the State Police.

Sean Denis McCarthy, 39, was a paramedic for the Jefferson County Emergency Services Agency and a former SWAT team medic.

State Police said that McCarthy had come home intoxicated, a subject told him to leave the house, after which McCarthy allegedly became angry, pushing the victim out of the residence.

McCarthy told authorities they would need to bring "a lot of people to remove him," according to the criminal complaint, saying he had firearms.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department's SWAT team was activated and responded to the standoff, which lasted seven hours, while a negotiator with the State Police was able to talk McCarthy down.
