Man taken into custody after hourslong SWAT standoff in Cobb

The man at the center of an hourslong standoff with a Cobb County SWAT team was taken into custody Monday morning, police said.

The man was led out of a home off Pine Bluff Court in the Austell area shortly before 7:30 a.m. He had been barricaded inside the residence since late Sunday night, when Cobb County police responded to a report of a domestic dispute.

“Through an initial investigation, responding officers identified the primary aggressor in the dispute; however, he was non-compliant,” police spokeswoman Officer Shenise Barner told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Our SWAT team was then activated, and the suspect was later taken into custody with no further incident.”

Cobb County authorities surrounded the home off Pine Bluff Court for several hours.

Barner said her office did not have the man’s name or know whether he was charged with a crime.

There was a large police presence outside the home in the Austell area.
