CARY – A 30-year-old Cary man was safely escorted from a neighborhood residence and to a hospital after he barricaded himself from a large police contingent for about four hours Wednesday.



Cary Police Deputy Chief James Fillmore said the man, who was threatening to harm himself and “under a lot of emotional stress,” was taken to Centegra Hospital – McHenry at 3:12 p.m. after first responders arrived on the scene on Hillhurst Drive at 11 a.m.



The man was unarmed and no one was hurt during the situation, Fillmore said.



The man had climbed into the garage attic and refused to come down for family members, police said.



Fillmore said no charges would be filed in the incident. Fillmore said police have responded to domestic disturbances at the home on the 300 block of Hillhurst Drive several times in the past.



The four-hour operation required a heavy police presence that included officers from Cary, Streamwood, Round Lake, Roselle, Fox River Grove and other municipalities. On the scene, marked and unmarked vehicles lined the surrounding streets, and armed, vested officers, including K-9 units, were seen walking toward the residence.



A large Northern Illinois Police Alarm System vehicle also was on the scene. Cary police blocked off a square area from Decker Drive to Hillhurst Drive bordered by Bryan and Bell drives.



School bus routes also were redirected because of the situation.



The incident comes within a week of a Holiday Hills man allegedly shooting and wounding two McHenry County Sheriff’s officers.



That incident led to an even larger police response as a 16-hour manhunt ensued before Scott B. Peters was arrested and charged with shooting the officers.
