March 29, 2019 Atlanta: A standoff with an armed driver ended after negotiators and SWAT officers surrounded the man's car and pulled him from the car on the side of I-75 South in Cobb County. Officers with guns drawn had shut down all southbound lanes of I-75 in Cobb County on Friday, March 29, 2019 where Marietta police were in a 2-hour standoff with an uncooperative driver who was armed near the I-285 interchange. The driver is suspected of being involved in an armed robbery at the Walmart at 210 Cobb Pkwy., Marietta police spokesman Officer Chuck McPhilamy said in a statement. "The vehicle and driver match the description of a suspect who committed an armed robbery in the city," he said. "Within a short period of time Marietta Officers located the suspect vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop." The driver did not immediately stop, but eventually pulled over to the side of the interstate between Windy Hill Road and I-285, McPhilamy said. He told 911 dispatchers he is not getting out of the car because he is afraid of being shot, according to Channel 2 Action News. Multiple agencies worked the scene, including the Georgia State Patrol and officers with the Cobb County and Marietta police departments. JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM
