Oxford police defused a brief standoff with a 43-year-old man on Clearview Drive on Friday.

Investigators said the man locked himself in his house with at least one Molotov cocktail just before 2 p.m. and refused to come out.

A negotiator talked the man out, police said. According to investigators the whole situation was over in less than a half-hour.

The man was transported to a local hospital by Oxford EMS.

No injuries were reported in the incident.
