He was originally charged with assault of a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and related charges stemming from an incident days earlier. 

Authorities received a call about a person with a gun on Sunday. A resident let the police in the home with the suspect and they were fired upon. They fled the building and SWAT was called. 

A 14-hour barricade situation followed before SWAT members entered the home and found Robbins, authorities said.
