Standoff with police
Updated: 46-year-old Timothy Cole, of Coudersport, PA, faces charges after threatening to harm himself and a Coudersport Borough police officer, according to Gerri Miller from Black Forest Broadcasting.
Miller reports that Cole told police that he had a gun and had been drinking.
Cole eventually exited the apartment peacefully, but suffered an injury to his head as police entered the front door of the residence.
Cole was then transported to Charles Cole Memorial Hospital.
A subsequent search of his residence yielded no gun.
Coudersport Borough police were assisted by PA State Police, Austin Borough police, Sweden Township police, and Coudersport Volunteer Fire and Ambulance.

That’s the only thing I hate about your site Tim. “Check back later for details.” :o) I hope everyone involved is ok and unharmed.

I believe everyone is okay… maybe a taser burn to deal with
🙂 Now see was that so hard?
“Sources tell CoudyNews that police were able to subdue the man.” could mean so many different things to me. They could’ve used riot bags, gas, a taser, tank. I mean who could tell lol
Jess – You left out the option of a big bear hug!!! LOL!

All kidding aside thank God no one was hurt. Looks likes the year end is going to be interesting. ; -0

It’s Coudy everything up there gets kept “under raps” from the crooked police to the drugs being sold on the courthouse square, yet another reason I no longer live there!
