A 51-year-old man is facing charges of uttering threats following a five-hour standoff with Regina police.

The home belonged to the suspect, who was believed to have firearms inside. Police formed a perimeter around the house.
After five hours of negotiating with the suspect, he left the house and turned himself over to police. He has since been charged with two counts of uttering threats.
