Sinclair was wanted for a shooting that happened on Feb. 13 in the parking lot of Rose Vine Place in southwest Charlotte. One person was seriously hurt in the shooting.
Sinclair had outstanding warrants for assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Channel 9 also learned Sinclair was arrested for having a stolen firearm, but was released Feb. 20. He was supposed to be in court Tuesday for those charges.
Violent Criminal Apprehension Team detectives said they received information that Sinclair was armed with multiple firearms inside the house.
The Concord SWAT team was then called to assist and able to take Sinclair into custody without use of force.
