Albany police have now charged a 43-year-old man with criminal weapons possession following a standoff along Lark Street last night that lasted several hours.
Police received a call about a man, possibly armed, inside an apartment at 191 Lark around 7 p.m. With a big crowd looking on, police negotiated with David Lester before taking him into custody around 10:45.
No one was hurt. The man was taken to a hospital for evaluation, and police say a search of Lester's apartment revealed a loaded handgun.
