A Bolton Point man, who used a weapon to resist arrest, will face Newcastle Local Court today.
The man was arrested in the early hours of this morning, following a six-hour siege at his home.
Police were called to the house around 7.20 last night, after the man allegedly armed himself with a knife and barricaded himself inside
After lengthy negotiations, police entered the house about 1.15am and arrested the man, charging him with domestic violence-related matters and using a weapon to resist arrest.
Police say the man's family members were inside the house when the siege began, but left of their own accord.
