CULLMAN – A man who barricaded himself in a building and threatened to harm himself early Sunday evening surrendered peacefully, according to Cullman Police Chief Kenny Culpepper.
The man, whom Culpepper did not identify, was in a building "in the 13th Street and Second Avenue Northeast area," said the chief. The man was in a standoff with the Cullman Police Department and Cullman County Sheriff's Office for approximately an hour and a half.
"He was threatening to harm himself," said Culpepper. "He left to go for treatment. Hopefully it will end well."
The chief expressed his gratitude for the help from the sheriff's office.
