On 6/27/2008 at 6:30 p.m., the Cumberland Police Department responded to the 800 blk of Maryland Ave. for a report of threats involving firearms. Through investigation officers received information that a female may be being held against her will at 16 ½ Pennsylvania Ave.  Once on the scene at Pennsylvania Ave, officers observed a male subject exit the house and attempted to make contact with him.  The male subject ignored officers request and ran back into the house.  Officers attempted to make contact with the subjects inside of the residence for several minutes.  During this time a male subject attempted to climb out the rear window of the residence and when contacted by Police fled back into the residence.  Due to the seriousness of the threats and concerns for the female resident, patrol units set a perimeter and notified the Cumberland Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T) along with C3I.  Both C3I and C.E.R.T responded and negations were begun.  After approximately 2 hours a male subject and a female subject came out of the residence and were detained.  After further investigation by C3I both subjects were placed under arrest and transported to Police Headquarters for charges.  Further investigation into this incident is continuing at this time.
