LEBANON — A man was arrested by Lebanon police early Sunday morning after a standoff that lasted nearly an hour. No one was injured.

Cory Robert Lake, 43, was arrested on charges of menacing, unlawful use of a firearm, pointing a firearm at another person and two counts of reckless endangering.

At about 12:02 a.m. on Sunday, police responded to the 300 block of Park Street to investigate a report of a domestic situation potentially involving a firearm, according to a Lebanon Police Department news release.

Reports indicated that a man had fired a shot into the air from his backyard and that he had made suicidal statements.

When officers arrived, a perimeter was set around the residence and the female 9-1-1 caller was able to leave the home. She took shelter behind a Lebanon police patrol vehicle.

Personnel from the Linn County Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon State Police arrived to assist.

North-bound Park Street was closed at Rose Street during the incident.

According to the news release, officers could hear Lake in the backyard attempting to operate the slide on a firearm.
