Police were on his tail, caught up with the guy and surrounded the house.

"It was just crazy. I mean they were jumping the fence. They were huddle over there at the back of the house," said Ola, who lives next door to the house where the standoff happened. "I seen the big guns. I have a baby and his room is right on that side and he was like ‘yeah, you might need to get him and move him as far away from that side.'"
