A man involved in an armed standoff with police in Henry County on Tuesday has been identified and charged with several felonies, including kidnapping and making terroristic threats.
Ryan Dale Barber, 30, of Stockbridge, was booked into the Henry County Jail on Wednesday morning after police say he barricaded himself in a house with a child. The standoff lasted more than eight hours as police negotiated with Barber, who they said had a handgun.

He is also charged with battery and interference with child custody, both misdemeanors.
Barber is scheduled for a bond hearing Thursday.
