The Coral Gables Police Department said it took a man into custody on Monday after he barricaded himself inside of a Cadillac Escalade along with numerous firearms.
The unidentified man crashed into a tree near Le Jeune Road and Navarre Avenue at about 9 a.m., according to police.
When officers first approached the vehicle, they noticed weapons and retreated until backup, including a SWAT team, arrived.
The man then drove again down the street until he stopped and remained barricaded inside for some time.
The man, identified as 36-year-old Valden Pierre Tatus, was eventually taken into custody. He was charged with possession of marijuana and a citation for the traffic crash, officials said.
