Armed police were deployed to a Napier address for a family harm incident overnight.
The Armed Offenders Squad and Police Negotiation Team were sent to a Marewa address at about 1am as a precaution.
A police spokesperson said police were called to the house because the offender was making threats of violence.
The matter was resolved without incident and a 26-year-old male was taken into custody.
He was due to appear in Napier District Court this morning on charges relating to driving offences, threatening behaviour and possession of an offensive weapon.
