Chattanooga police arrested a man after a SWAT team was called to his residence on Tuesday.
Sterling M. Smith, 34, was taken into custody after barricading himself in his home, according to an affidavit from the Chattanooga Police Department.
Public safety officers surrounded the home and began to give the man verbal commands, the affidavit said, but Smith did not comply.
“Police requested for on-duty SWAT (special weapons and tactics) and HNT (hostage negotiation teams) to respond to the scene,” the affidavit said.
