A Florida man was arrested Sunday after cutting off his ankle monitor, barricading himself inside an apartment and jumping out of a window in the apartment, according to officials.
The Sumter County Sheriff's Office responded to the Sandalwood Apartments in the city of Wildwood at around 3:54 a.m. Sunday after multiple reports of a driver breaking into apartments after crashing a car into one of the buildings.
When deputies arrived, they discovered the suspect, later identified as 44-year-old Corey Michael Payton, who barricaded himself inside a second-story apartment he was burglarizing, the sheriff's office said in a press release.
Payton threatened to shoot deputies, leading authorities to evacuate several apartments they considered to be in danger.

The sheriff's office's S.W.A.T. team ultimately responded to the scene and a Crisis Negotiations Team established verbal contact with Payton through a second-floor window he had broken out.
Officials had been negotiating with Payton to surrender peacefully for several hours before he dove out of the second-story apartment window and landed on the ground.
A Villages Fire Rescue crew at the scene attempted life-saving measures before Payton was flown by helicopter to a regional trauma center.
