MENTOR, Ohio -- A SWAT team arrested a domestic violence suspect late Sunday after a nine-hour standoff at a Mentor home, police said.

John R. Sines, 68, is charged with kidnapping, felonious assault, having weapons under disability, aggravated menacing and obstructing official business in the incident at a home on Grace Drive near Lakeshore Boulevard, police said in a news release.

The Mentor Police Department and Lake County Sheriff’s Office SWAT teams tried to get Sines to surrender before they entered the home and arrested him just after 5:40 a.m. Monday, police said.

The standoff began shortly after 8:40 p.m. Sunday, when a woman called 911 to report a domestic violence incident. The woman left the Grace Drive residence and called from a neighbor’s home.

Sines refused to come to the door when Mentor police officers arrived, police said. The officers learned he might armed with a gun, and that he threatened to use it, police said. Police tried multiple times to get him to surrender, police said.

The SWAT officers found a gun when they entered the home nine hours later and arrested Sines, police said.

Neither Sines nor any officers were hurt in the incident. The woman who initially called 911 was taken to Tri-Point Hospital to be treated for injuries, but was later released, police said.

Sines is being held in the Mentor City Jail while awaiting his first court appearance.
