"Newtown Township Barricade Ends with Man in Custody and Shelter-in-Place Lifted"

Residents in Bucks County were asked to shelter in place for the second day in a row due to police activity, as law enforcement responded to a domestic incident in Newtown that escalated into a barricade situation. The man involved was taken into custody without incident, and the shelter in place order was lifted. The police were met with a female victim who reported being physically assaulted, and precautions were taken to evacuate homes in the area. Officials expect to charge the man in response to the incident, and this comes just a day after another violent incident in Falls Township.
