Upon arriving at the scene, provincial police officers were able to make contact with the person of interest and an arrest was made without further incident. Due to the nature of the investigation, emergency crews are at the scene. The OPP Russell County Crime Unit is assisting with the investigation, and said there is no threat to public safety.
