A four-hour police standoff in Fayetteville just after midnight Tuesday resulted in the arrest of an Indiana man.

Fayetteville police received a call from a woman at 120 Susan Lane who said a man was holding her against her will.

Officers from the Peachtree City/Fayetteville SWAT team, the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation responded, negotiating with the suspect after the woman fled the home but while her children were still inside.

Marcellus Shead, 31, of Evansville, Indiana, was taken into custody and charged with kidnapping-family violence and false imprisonment. No injuries were reported.
