Harvey Ellis, 53, has been charged with four counts of menacing stemming from the late-night incident, during which he held police at bay for about two hours. No one was harmed. Police were called to the home of Harvey Ellis, 53, in the 700 block of B Street at about 9 p.m. after receiving a call of a domestic dispute at the home. Neighbors had heard a loud argument in the home and alerted police. Once on the scene, Ashland police were threatened by an intoxicated Ellis, who then barricaded himself in his attic where several guns were stored. According to Sgt. Bob Smith, once police arrived on the scene, they determined what action should be taken. He said several more officers were called to the scene and Ellis came out of his home after approximately two hours of negotiation. Sgt. Teresa Selby said when police arrived at the scene, they were met by a "very agitated man" who threatened to shoot police if they entered his home. Police with rifles and non-lethal weapons surrounded the home. Police then evacuated neighbors living in the vicinity of the home and set up a perimeter around the home. Contact was made with Ellis by phone and he was eventually talked into surrendering. He was taken into custody shortly after 11 p.m. and charged with four counts of menacing.
