"The picture being painted is that he is this criminal, notorious person, that he's not. This is so blown out of proportion. It's breaking my heart we have to go through this," the suspect's sister, Beckey Dorsey, said.

Police set up a perimeter and kept neighbors far back for safety reasons. They said no one else was inside the home

What sounded like at least one flash-bang could be heard going off in the distance. Police also tried breaking windows.
