The Tuscaloosa Police Department says Roderick Ball, 29, was initially uncooperative when U.S. Marshals Task Force members arrived at the residence just before 8 a.m. in an attempt to serve an arrest warrant.

Ball then allegedly barricaded himself inside and refused to come to the door.

This prompted members of TPD’s Special Response Team and patrol division to respond to scene and Ball eventually surrendered just after 9:30 a.m.
