After a man refused to leave his North County residence Wednesday evening, St. Louis County police say they have spent their night trying to talk him into surrendering, according to a report from KSDK.

Around 8:00 p.m., police were called to a home on Edison to question the man about a fight he'd been in earlier Wednesday.

But the man refused to come out of his house to talk to them, so police called in a tactical team.
