A large Romulus police scene took place off Van Born Road on Friday ending in a peaceful surrender.

The backstory:

The suspect is in protective custody after surrendering to officers. 

Police say the man was involved in a domestic dispute and made suicidal statements. 

He was on a tether and officers tracked him north of Beverly, west of Cogswell Street. A large contingent of police responded and some traffic was blocked off.

He had been inside a barn when negotiators were able to successfully get him to surrender without incident. 

Police said there is no danger to the public.
