A man is in custody after a stand-off with Halton Police in Oakville.

Just after noon today police were called to a house in the Queen Mary Drive area where two men were arguing.

One man escaped, while another man, 50 years old, barricaded himself inside the house.

One of the individuals escaped unharmed while the second remained barricaded inside.

After a three hour stand-off the man was arrested and charged with uttering threats.

As a precaution a school nearby was placed on lockdown, but that was lifted two hours later.
