For hours negotiators attempted to coax the suspect to peacefully surrender.
The man, found to be 29-year-old Robert Richardson, was taken into custody by police a little before 3 p.m. and three people were safely let out of the home.
Police said they found multiple guns, including a rifle, at the home.
