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.”
