Residents were told to stay away from the immediate area by police during the standoff. Officers said there was no threat to the public.

Before the arrest,  Amoboateng was being charged with various charges including kidnapping in the first degree, assault in the second degree, assault of a pregnant person in the second degree and disorderly conduct.
