BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The Anne Arundel County Police Department says a barricade situation has ended without any injuries.

Officers were called out to the 600 block of Red Cedar Rd., and found that the man was the only person inside the home.

A perimeter was set up around the home. The department's Quick Response Team was called to assist after failed attempts to get him to come out.
