What started as a well-being check turned into a police standoff with a wanted man in North Barrington Wednesday morning, authorities said.

Lake County Sheriffโ€™s deputies were called at 6:10 a.m. to the 400 block of East Oakwood Drive near North Barrington for a well-being check on a woman. Officials said that a family member of the woman called police after the woman at the home wasn’t answering the door.

Sheriff’s officials said that the woman was inside the house withย Thomas F. Kornfeind, 44, of the 1000 block of Hillcrest Drive in DeKalb, who had an active arrest warrant for aggravated domestic battery, aggravated battery and unlawful interference with the reporting of domestic violence.

Sheriff’s officials said that the woman and Kornfeind fled to a bedroom in the home and refused to exit or communicate with police. A perimeter was setup and sheriffโ€™s deputies tried to communicate through a loudspeaker for an hour with no results.
