The SWAT team was called in and officers spent hours outside the home.
Neighbors saw the activity and feared for their own safety.
"The next thing you know, I'm getting a bang on the door, and you know, we're all very scared," said Matthew Montgomery, a neighbor. "It was just the cop telling us that we had to evacuate, and that's after the big armored truck pulled up."
Police eventually learned the suspect they were looking for was not in the home, but out in a car.
The vehicle was stopped in Bayonne and the suspect was taken into custody.
