SAN DIEGO (CNS) -- A possibly armed man who charged into a home in San Diego’s Rolando Village neighborhood and locked himself in a room Sunday was arrested after a lengthy standoff.
Tayvion Harrison, 29, was wanted in connection with four arrest warrants, including one for assault with a firearm, San Diego police Lt. Adam Sharki told City News Service. He was taken into custody about 9 p.m.
Sharki said officers responded to a call of an assault near 50th Street and El Cajon Avenue at around 12:45 p.m. from which the suspect had fled, dropping a gun along the way.
The suspect, later identified as Harrison, ran into a home in the 6200 block of Madeline Street and then refused to come out. The residents of the home were able to escape unharmed, police said.
Police and a SWAT unit set up a perimeter around the house and residents were safely evacuated.
Police negotiators spoke with the suspect through the early afternoon and into the evening before he exited the house and surrendered without incident.
