ANTIOCH — A nearly eight-hour standoff with a 61-year-old man, who was armed with a knife and suspected of domestic violence, ended late Friday with the man being taken into custody by members of the Antioch Police Department SWAT team.
The standoff began after police were called to a home in the 1000 block of Stonecrest Drive about 3:43 p.m. Friday, according to an Antioch police press release. A woman had reportedly been assaulted, kidnapped and robbed by the suspect.
When officers arrived at the home, they found the woman, 47, outside, with her alleged assailant barricaded inside, the press release said. The man also was believed to be armed. Police also learned that he had violated the terms of a court order and was wanted on several unrelated felony warrants for violating the terms of his probation.
Officers attempted to negotiate with the man for several hours, but he refused to come out and surrender, the release said. He instead displayed a large knife at the officers. The Antioch Police Department’s Crisis Negotiation and SWAT teams soon responded and continued negotiations.
During that time, police asked people to stay away from the area, as they worked to deal with this “contained emergency situation.”
At 11:46 p.m., the man finally surrendered and SWAT team members took him into custody, the release said. He was transported to the hospital for medical evaluation and later booked into Contra Costa County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, felony domestic violence, kidnapping, violation of a court order and resisting arrest.
