Around noon Thursday, the Opp Police Department received a call from a person threatening to injure himself, a release from the department stated.

The incident occurred at a residence on Hillcrest Drive, off Saunders Road, with officers from the Covington County Sheriff's Department and the Covington County 22nd Judicial Drug Task Force (DTF) responding to the scene to assist the Opp Police Department.
