The Riley County Police Department says officers peacefully resolved a situation Monday involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis.

Officers were dispatched at around 2:30 p.m. to the 300 block of Hunter Place, after a call concerning a man with a weapon at the Scenic Woods apartments. Arriving officers found a 25-year-old man threatening to harm himself.

An emergency Everbridge alert was sent out alerting residents to shelter in place and avoid the area. The situation was resolved within an hour-and-a-half, with no injuries reported and the shelter in place notification was lifted.
