GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Police say a man who locked himself in a Gwinnett County hotel room prompting a SWAT standoff has surrendered.
The man barricaded inside a room with a knife at the Horizon Inn and Suites at 6187 Dawson Boulevard Friday afternoon and was threatening to harm himself.
After he surrendered, the man was evaluated by medical personnel but didn't appear to be injured, police said.
Gwinnett police said that around 4 p.m. they attempted to stop a vehicle, which then drove away. It's unclear what prompted the stop. A SWAT team was called in at 5 p.m. to negotiate with the man.
No one else was reported injured.
