A solitary police vehicle remains on site this afternoon at what began as an escalation of a landlord-tenant in Arnprior.
Renfrew OPP detachment officers cordoned off Claude Street near the west bank of the Madawsaka River in the community Friday morning.
Reports indicate that the landlord’s brother, who was attempting to make repairs to the residence, got into a possible altercation with two tenants- who subsequently barricaded themselves inside the dwelling.
Police blocked off Claude Street at both the Elgin Street East intersection and the McGonigal East corner, and cautioned people to stay away from the area due to the potential volatility of the situation.
