Barton held a victim at gunpoint and demanded a ride. CCSO deputies were in the area and responded immediately. They quickly located the victim and Barton. He was placed under arrest without further incident and transported to the Cullman County Detention Center, where he is currently being held.
“I would like to thank the citizens of Cullman County for all of their assistance over the past several days,” Sheriff Matt Gentry said. “I am thankful we were able to arrest Barton without any citizens or deputies being injured. I am also proud of the vigilance our deputies and investigators displayed over the last several days ultimately resulting in Barton’s arrest, keeping our community and citizens safe.”
