Standoff In Providence Ends Without Incident

A man was arrested without incident after an armed standoff with police in Providence on Thursday.

Timothy Desjardins was allegedly spotted carrying a gun by patrol officers and ran into a barbershop he owned on Atwells Avenue at around 2 p.m.

Neighboring buildings were evacuated, and Desjardins surrendered after about two hours without further incident.

He was out on bail for a shooting that happened nearby on Atwells in September.
