About one hour later, the man notified police that his children were inside. Three children walked out alongside the man, who carried an infant in his arms. Officers took the child from the man and placed him in handcuffs.
As the man was escorted to a police vehicle, NBC video footage shows him dancing and shouting, "Tell my kids I love them all, all 10." He also reportedly said he would "be out in two weeks."
The man's name has not been released.
