Armed Macon Man Arrested After Barricading Himself in Storage Trailer

Bibb County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a 49-year-old man who barricaded himself inside a storage trailer on the 4000 block of Broadway after threatening law enforcement.

The incident began at 9:26 a.m. on Wednesday when deputies responded to a trespassing call at a commercial business. Upon arrival, the suspect, identified as Christopher Todd Barrow of Macon, immediately locked himself inside a trailer and threatened to shoot deputies if they attempted entry.
