A man was arrested after barricading himself inside his home in Citrus Heights Monday morning, authorities said.
Heavy police presence could be seen at the 7300 block of Chivalry Way early Monday morning, as the Cirus Heights Police Department along with other assisting agencies attempted to make contact with a suspect.
The heavy police response was prompted from an earlier call to service at the same location, and the suspect was wanted for assault with a deadly weapon, police said.
At least one home nearby the residence was evacuated out of precaution, and other residences were asked to shelter in place.
The suspect, identified as Tyler Piatte, 35, was taken into custody shortly after SWAT and negotiators arrived. Piatte was arrested on felony charges of domestic abuse and assault with a deadly weapon as well as misdemeanor charges of battery and false imprisonment, records show.
Sacramento Main Jail records show Piatte is still in custody and is being held without bail.
