AKRON, Ohio -- Akron police on Wednesday called in a SWAT team to help arrest a man who was violating a protection order and threatening a woman and her children, according to police.

Matthew McCann, 54, of Akron has been charged with violation of a protection order and obstructing official business, Akron Municipal Court records show.

Officers responded around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to a report of a domestic dispute at a home on the 700 block of Lovers Lane on Akron’s South Side, according to a police report.

The 40-year-old victim told officers that McCann was making threats against her and her children, and that he was inside the home, which violated her protection order, police said.

As police arrived, McCann tried to escape out the back door, but he was stopped by officers. He ran back inside and barricaded himself in an upstairs bedroom. Officers tried to get McCann to come out of the bathroom, but he refused, police said.

Officers discovered that he had two active warrants in connection with violating the same protection order on Oct. 3, police said.

After more failed attempts to negotiate with him, police called in the SWAT team, which entered the home and arrested McCann without incident just after 10:30 a.m. He was booked into the Summit County Jail.

McCann appeared in court Thursday morning for a hearing, court records show.
