TROTWOOD, Ohio -- A standoff situation ends peacefully in Trotwood after cops using a bullhorn talk a man out of a house.

Then, it turns out the whole thing was a hoax.

SWAT was called out at 3:40 a.m. for a possible standoff in the 4900 block of Marburn Avenue in Trotwood.

Cops received a tip that a man was hold up in a house there after dragging a woman into the house.

Officers say they've had previous calls to this residence.

Now we're told the woman is in custody, accused of making the entire incident up as part of a domestic dispute.

The man had apparently been sleeping in the house before being awakened by all the bullhorn and knocking noise.

He reportedly will not be charged.
