POTTSTOWN, Pa. - Pottstown standoff ends peacefully

OFF THE WIRE
sounds like someone is making false reports to the cops, which is illegal, or maybe the cops made up the story of the calls. either way, theres nothing right about this story. Im sure someone is trying to make the club look worse then it is, whether its the neighbors or the cops. If i were the club, i would get a lawyer and get the records of the calls, and see exactly what happened, because 911 calls are recorded, as is the person making the call.
Hey 69 news, can you get on that for me and get me some more info?

Residents in a Pottstown neighborhood are breathing a sigh of relief after police arrived to their quiet neighborhood with their guns drawn.
Around 6:00 a.m., Friday, Pottstown Police say they thought they were trying to rescue a woman in danger.
"We got a second call of a woman screaming, telling people to get off her, fight in progress," said Chief Mark Flanders, Pottstown Police Department.
But, when police arrived to 60 South Adams Street in Pottstown, no one would answer the door, and they found themselves in a standoff that lasted more than five hours.
Investigators say the building belongs to the motorcycle gang, Wheels of Soul.   
Using a megaphone police tried to get the individuals to come outside.
Meanwhile, the Chester-Montgomery County Emergency Response Team arrived heavily armed.
Detectives say the group has been the subject of several disturbance calls.
Many in the area say they are familiar with Wheels of Soul.
"They can get rowdy," said Nicole Standford from Pottstown.
Workers around the corner at the Little Italy Pizzeria were also shaken.
"It was kind of tense at first because nobody knew what was going on," said Rocky Citrino.
Authorities say around seven people finally came out of the building.
But police say they found no evidence of a crime.
"So we're satisfied that whatever it was, obviously it wasn't something that we have to worry about the safety of anybody right now," said Chief Flanders.
In the end, two men were arrested. Police say they were wanted for violating parole and probation in Berks and Montgomery counties.
Residents say they are glad it is over.
"Very relieved. It's nice when things happen and nobody gets hurt and the police can make their arrests and take care of business," said Citrino.
