A nearly eight-hour standoff with a 61-year-old man armed with a knife culminated in his arrest by the Antioch Police Department SWAT team following negotiations.
The standoff was triggered by reports of a woman who was assaulted, kidnapped, and robbed, leading to police engagement with the suspect who was barricaded.
Efforts to negotiate with the suspect lasted several hours, during which he threatened officers with a large knife before ultimately surrendering.
The man, who was already wanted on several felony warrants, faces multiple charges including assault with a deadly weapon and felony domestic violence after his arrest.
