Man arrested after allegedly barricading himself in Whitby home
A 27-year-old man faces numerous charges after allegedly barricading himself inside of a Whitby home – a residence he was under court orders to steer clear of – while armed with a knife last weekend.
Durham Regional Police say officers responded to an “unwanted person call” at a residence in the area of Chestnut St. E. and Perry St. – near Brock St. N. and Dundas St. E. – around 7:20 p.m. on Sunday.
“Officers arrived on scene where the suspect had armed and barricaded himself with a knife,” police alleged in a statement released Wednesday.
“The suspect was on conditions to remain away from the residence and the homeowner,” police added, explaining the man “eventually exited the residence and was arrested.”
Jordan Wheeler, of no fixed address, is charged with eight counts of failure to comply with a probation order.
“At the time of his arrest, Wheeler was wanted on several other charges stemming from a previous unrelated incident,” police said.
