The standoff started after reports of shots fired in the house.
Two people were hurt, including the suspect.
Deputies shot Tolliver in the arm, according to Logan County Sheriff Randall Dodds.
The trial started on Monday, April 14, when jurors were transported to the scene of the shooting.
They visually observed the damage to the neighbor’s residences from the gunfire, as 34 witnesses testified, including a forensic psychologist, who evaluated Tolliver for competency and insanity to assess his mental state, the prosecutor’s office said.
He was found mentally competent to stand trial.
“We are pleased with the verdict. Mr. Tolliver’s actions put the lives of his neighbors, community, and many law enforcement officers in danger,” said Prosecutor Eric Stewart.
Tolliver faces decades in prison, the prosecutor’s office stated.
His sentencing is scheduled for May 19.
