Police say the suspect got into a vehicle and followed the salesperson but he was eventually able to hide inside a home while police were called.
The K9 unit, tactical support team and general patrol officers went to the man’s house but it took them until 11:20 to get him safely into custody.
A search warrant of the house allowed police to find 12 firearms and ammunition.
Donald Bruce Elliot, 51, is facing a number of charges.
