They eventually called 'at least' 30 armed officers as backup, TMZ reported.
One of them can be seen during the arrest pointing a rifle.
The standoff reportedly lasted a couple of hours until officers broke down Scantlin's back door and escorted him out.
Scantlin can be seen in another arrest photo with his hands behind his back as an officer walks him away from the house.
He was wearing a hoodie, jeans and sneakers at the time.
Scantlin was arrested on a previous warrant but wasn't held for the standoff, TMZ wrote.
Officers told the website Scantlin and a couple of friends were trying to jump start the car, not commit a burglary.
The singer pleaded not guilty in February to a felony vandalism charge filed after being arrested at a home he had lost in foreclosure.
Authorities said Scantlin had caused about $7,000 in damage to the home, deteriorating the plumbing and a garage door and ripping an alarm system out of the wall.
He was also charged with misdemeanor trespassing at the time.
