UPDATE:Armed man who caused SWAT response was ex-military, had large cache of weapons, say police

PARK RIDGE — An armed man who caused a SWAT response on Johnsvale Road Thursday night was taken into custody and no one was injured, authorities said.

The unidentified man was in his basement as law enforcement converged at about 9:30 p.m. He was taken into custody before midnight.

"Our entire PD along with Bergen County SWAT did a great job and I'm very appreciative of their efforts," Park Ridge Mayor Keith Misciagna said.

No shots were fired and there were no hostages, Police Chief Joseph Madden said. No further details were available.

The Bergen County Sheriff's Office and the Hillsdale, Westwood and Montvale police were on scene.

A staging area for law enforcement personnel was set up at nearby Park Ridge High School.

John D., who has lived in the neighborhood for nine years and did not give his full name, said he didn't hear anything prior to police arrival but he usually doesn't hear much commotion in the area.

"Just a blue collar town," he said.

"It's a little frightening," he said of the SWAT response in his neighborhood, "but the local law enforcement does a good job so I sleep good at night."
