PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (WCAX) - A Clinton County man is being held without bail following an armed standoff with police Wednesday morning. It happened at a home on Town Line Road in the town of Plattsburgh. New York State Police say Timothy Holmes, 60, of West Chazy, was involved in a fight with family members, threatened them with a shotgun, and barricaded himself inside his camper. Crisis negotiators responded to the scene but police said he would not respond. After a two-hour standoff, police say a SWAT team 'made contact' with Holmes and he surrendered.
