A police officer from metro Atlanta is behind bars after a five hour standoff on Sunday.
49-year-old Robert Gray was arrested on Sunday in Newnan after a lengthy standoff with police who responded to a call about a burglary in a residential area. Newnan police said Sunday that Gray has a ‘domestic relationship’ with the person who lives in the home where the standoff occured.
