Lakemore, Ohio —
The Metro SWAT (special weapons and tactics) team was called and responded to the Village of Lakemore on Jan. 27 when Gregory Bolyard, 42, barricaded himself in his home with a weapon.
At approximately 2:45 a.m. officers of the Springfield Police Department were called to 1523 Front St. in response to a domestic disturbance. Officers noticed Bolyard sitting at the kitchen table in possession of a crossbow.
