Woodstock police say officers responded to an incident at a business near Georgia State Route 92 and Parkway 575. Police said officers were executing a warrant, but did not say for what.
Just after 2 p.m., Woodstock police said the suspect is in custody, and the incident is over.
Woodstock police said it all began around 1 a.m., when the department contacted Holly Springs police about a man, Michael Warren Johnson, who was involved in a domestic dispute in their jurisdiction.
Johnson was wanted on a warrant for felony possession of a firearm issued by the Cherokee County Magistrate Court.
This is a developing story. We have a reporter and photographer at the scene with LIVE updates beginning on Channel 2 Action News at 4 p.m.
Holly Springs police stated that Johnson was at his business at 9504 Hwy 92 in Woodstock. Officers said they received information that Johnson kept a gun at his business. Woodstock police noticed someone moving inside the lobby of the business and made contact with the man who matched Johnson’s description.
Police said the suspect refused to exit the building.
Just after 9:15 a.m. WPD received a call that the suspect was threatening to harm himself and law enforcement officers. Woodstock police obtained a search warrant for the business shortly before 1 p.m.
At 1:52 p.m., the Cherokee County Multi-Agency SWAT Team made entry into the business and arrested Johnson.
