Authorities say that before they arrived at the scene, Taylor “charged at the homeowner” and proceeded to fire one shot into the ground.
Following the confrontation, the 37-year-old man ran into a nearby wooded area. A perimeter was formed by a SWAT team, as they were unsure if he was armed in the woods.
After further investigation, deputies discovered that Taylor was a familiar face from a previous arrest. When SWAT arrived, Taylor walked out of the home and surrendered without incident.
Currently, Taylor is on probation for a burglary charge in Livingston Parish.
He was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for simple burglary.
