Police say they received the call from Obafemi Temitope Jaji telling them he robbed a store and now wanted the SWAT team at his apartment.

Taking no chances, SWAT arrived at the Eclipse Apartment complex and pleaded for Jaji to come out.

He finally did and was quickly taken into custody.

Neighbors watched all the drama unfold.

"I hear this boom, two booms and then they got on their loud speakers and I heard them say this is the Gwinnett County SWAT team, we are not leaving,” said neighbor John Wade.

"I don't know what the motives were when he decided to rob that location. I don't know if he wanted to draw officers to his location,” said Gwinnett County Cpl. Michele Pihera. “He did mention that he wanted police to kill him."

No one was seriously hurt.
