COOK CO., GA (WALB) - A man has been arrested after an hours-long standoff in Remerton Thursday that led to a multi-county manhunt.
Glenn Davis was arrested in Cook County just before 1 p.m. Friday.
According to police, Davis went to pick up a paycheck and officials ran the tag on his vehicle and pulled him over.
He was arrested without issue.
Davis was wanted after a standoff in Remerton.
Police say Davis barricaded himself in an apartment on Victory Drive just after 10 a.m. Friday, threatening to shoot himself.
"Initially the call was that this gentleman threatened to kill himself, so it's obviously a mental health issue. We take our time on those cases," said Derrick Sinclair, an Investigator with the Remerton Police Department. "You don't know what the mindset of the individual is and you don't want to cause harm to them or to any of the officers involved."
At around 1 p.m., police entered the apartment, shooting four smoke grenades, but Davis was not inside.
Davis had several active warrants for his arrest, including one in Cook County.
Lowndes County officials tell us they plan to file more charges in the coming days.
