A very large and armed wanted person recently barricaded himself inside his Park Avenue home. Though officers often plan for the worst while hoping for the best, sometimes simple human kindness gets the job done. That's what happened when Third Precinct Sgt. Gary Borges went to the wanted person's home and simply spoke with the man while Master Police Officer Anthony Richio walked up behind the man and slid on the handcuffs. The man was taken into custody without anyone getting hurt. Good job!
