ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. - A man faces pending charges after triggering a SWAT response and a search on Friday night in Rockdale County, according to the sheriff's office.

What we know:

It all started around 7:45 p.m. at a home on the 3000 block of Notting Hill Court. A homeowner checked their security camera feed, saw an unauthorized family member inside the house, and called 911.

When deputies arrived, they checked around the outside and believed the man was still hiding inside. The sheriff's office said that since there were guns stored in the house, deputies called in SWAT to take over the search safely.
