When U.S. marshals closed in on a Connecticut fugitive seeking refuge in metro Atlanta on Tuesday, he grabbed a weapon and barricaded himself inside a Clayton County home, authorities said.
The marshals requested assistance from Clayton County police and apprehended Jaquan Raheem Rosado, according to a news release.
Police said Rosado, 29, was wanted in Connecticut on a slate of charges that included criminal possession of a firearm, robbery, larceny, criminal mischief, failure to appear and probation violations.
According to the release, police discovered him hiding in a Hampton residence in the 11000 block of Southwood Drive around 2 p.m. Officials said he barricaded himself in the home and refused to come out for nearly five hours.
Rosado was deemed armed and dangerous during the standoff, which finally ended around 6:40 p.m.
Authorities took Rosado into custody without incident, according to the release. Booking records show he was held as a fugitive from justice and remained in custody at the Clayton County jail on Wednesday afternoon.
