Last night police say Willie Jermaine Weekley surrendered after a search located him hiding inside a car on the lot of the Clay Cooley Hyundai dealership on I-30.

The car dealership was locked down after police went there to arrest Weekley on some family violence warrants. But he went into hiding, leading to a SWAT call-out.

Police say during the three-hour impasse Weekley called the victim of the family violence and told her he would kill the officers sent to arrest him, and should he escape he would kill her too, according to reports.
