Two people were arrested in Findlay Monday afternoon.

According to a release from the Findlay Police Department, officers conducted surveillance at a house in the city.

They were watching for Charles Cooper III and Madison Fenhart of the address who had active warrants for their arrest.

During surveillance, officers observed Cooper in the house and attempted to contact him, but he refused to answer the door and barricaded himself inside.

Police say multiple verbal commands were made and ample time was given for Cooper to exit the residence, but he refused.

Forced entry was then made into the house, and Cooper was found hiding on a bed in a second-floor bedroom, and Fenhart was found hiding in a closet in the same room.
