TURNERS FALLS — Several police departments were staged outside an apartment building Monday afternoon near the corner of Turners Falls Road and Avenue C as a crisis negotiation team worked to remove a man from the building after a reported domestic violence incident.

The Montague, Greenfield, Gill and Erving police departments were outside the building with tactical gear and the crisis negotiation team was speaking to a male party who had locked himself in the bathroom. The Montague Police Department reported the situation was resolved and nobody was harmed at 5:45 p.m.

Greenfield Police Chief Todd Dodge, who gave preliminary details on the incident at around 5 p.m., said the Greenfield Police Department’s drones had a visual on the man and the negotiation team had been speaking to him through the bathroom door.

Dodge said the situation began as an alleged domestic violence incident and that the female victim — it was unclear if there was anyone else inside — had left the building, but the male party stayed inside. He said the person had firearms registered to their name, but it was unclear at the time if the man was armed.

Traffic was blocked near the intersection of Millers Falls and Turners Falls roads. A townwide email alert was issued at 4:44 p.m. advising residents to avoid the area.

Speaking during Monday night’s Selectboard meeting, Montague Police Chief Christopher Williams mentioned he had received numerous questions regarding whether the large law enforcement presence was related to raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Williams clarified the incident was not related to ICE activity.
