A man being held on suspicion of an alleged bomb hoax gave a letter to the chief executive of Great Yarmouth Borough Council amid a staggering 27-hour siege.
The incident began at 11.30am on Wednesday at a home in Coast Road, Hopton, where officers were called following reports of threats made during an eviction attempt.
A man in his 40s refused to leave the property and told officers he would set fire to petrol containers if anyone entered.
The man was arrested at about 2pm on Thursday after speaking with Sheila Oxtoby, chief executive of Great Yarmouth Borough Council, 27-hours after the stand-off began.
Norfolk Constabulary confirmed he was being held on suspicion of communicating false information in relation to an alleged bomb hoax.
Ms Oxtoby has since told the BBC that house at the centre of the siege was a council house and that the suspect has wrote her a letter.
She said: "I'm really pleased to say that the incident has come to an end and nobody's hurt.
"He was a tenant of ours and he wanted to speak to me.
"He's given me a letter to read."
