Conyers police say a man who had barricaded himself inside a room at an Intown Suites is now in custody. Police tweeted the “barricaded subject has been taken into custody without incident” at 8:57 p.m. Tuesday night.

Conyers police Sgt. Quantavis Garcia says his officers got a call after 4 p.m. from a third party who said a man was threatening to kill himself.

Garcia said earlier the suspect was inside the room with his 20-year-old son.

Garcia says a couple of weeks ago his officers investigated a murder outside that same Intown Suites.
