A man told police they would have to shoot him before he would agree to come out of his home on Marchmont Drive in Fairborn. The standoff between him and S.W.A.T officers stretched nearly five hours but ended without injury Saturday evening.

Police first responded to a call for a peace officer at about 2:30 p.m. Claude J. Greer, a resident at 267 Marchmont, would not allow his wife into the house, said Fairborn police Sgt. Mark Stannard.

That became a standoff that brought officers and equipment from Fairborn, Beavercreek and Huber Heights police departments, crowding the nearby intersection of Marchmont and Ramona Drive and bringing neighbors outdoors to watch.

Negotiators communicated with Greer — whom Stannard said was intoxicated — via bullhorn and public address system. As the afternoon wore on, police officers deployed tear gas. Shortly before 7 p.m., officers traded shouts of “We got him,” as Greer was removed from the residence.”

“I believe he walked out,” Stannard said.

He was transported to Miami Valley Hospital after being struck by a bean-bag bullet, he said.
