The Erie County Sheriff's Office closed down a portion of Goodrich Road near Greiner Road in Clarence Sunday to talk to a despondent man.

A spokesperson said the man was holed up in his home alone and stressed that it was not a standoff.

Authorities tweeted out the incident late Sunday night saying:

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz tweeted later saying the situation was resolved.

Deputies say they were able to convince the man to leave his home, bringing about a peaceful resolution.

He is not facing any charges.
