A man has been charged after a 30-hour stand-off with police in Castletown.
Officers were first alerted to concern for a man at a property on Coronation Place in the village at 12.25pm on Monday.
They initially attended the house to carry out a welfare check before fire and ambulance crews were called to assist.
Armed officers and negotiators were also sent to the scene which marked the start of a 30-hour stand-off.
During this time, the 49-year-old man inside the property took to social media to live-stream his encounters with the officers.
Police confirmed there was no wider threat to the public.
The man eventually left the property at around 5.45pm on Tuesday – more than a day after the officers first arrived.
He was checked over by paramedics and arrested.
The 49-year-old has now been charged and will appear at Wick Sheriff Court on Wednesday, November 6.
