MILFORD, Del. (CBS) – A Delaware man barricaded himself in a room in Milford on Friday, claiming he had a gun.

Around 7:30 p.m., Milford police responded to a residence on W Clarke Avenue after receiving a complaint about a disorderly person who had broken into another person’s room and damaged items.

When police arrived, the man barricaded himself into an upstairs room, claiming he had a gun. Other occupants of the residence had to be evacuated from the downstairs.

The Delaware State Police SORT Team, E.O.D Team, Conflict Management Team and Harrington Police Department responded to assist the Milford Police S.O.G Team, K-9 unit and Criminal Division.

The man, identified as 43-year-old Drue Ryans of Milford, refused to exit the house for 4 hours while displaying erratic behavior that included throwing things out the windows and damaging items inside the house.

Finally, Ryans emerged onto the porch, where he was tasered and taken into custody. He was transported to Milford Bayhealth Hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries and mentally evaluated. Criminal charges are pending.

I will be 14 when the Advocate happens. I have been detiiabc for eleven years, since I was two years old. I strongly believe we should keep research going to find a cure for diabetes. I know insulin pumps and shots help out a lot, and I am blessed that they have invented them. But hafting to change my insulin pump every three days can be a hassle for the on the go teen. Hafting to take shots four times a day leaves welts and bruises. I rotate my insulin sites so I don’t reuse any spots because it’s painful. But I’m running out of spots with every site change. I was told with every other internal organ problems I was not a good candidate for a pancreatic transplant. My brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes alms a year before I was. Now 20 years old, he struggles with trying to find a job, go to school, and have a social life on top of his diabetes. Staying on top of our diabetes is hard to juggle while doing school work, homework, clubs, camps and many other every day to week to month to year things we do. I think that diabetes should be stopped!
