Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location: 2200 Block of Monroe Street
Officers responded to the 2200 block of Monroe Street regarding a domestic violence incident. The suspect prevented the victim from leaving the residence and threatened to kill the victim. The victim attempted to call 9-1-1 from a cell phone. The suspect physically took the cell phone from the victim and prevented the victim from making an emergency call. The victim fled the residence and called 9-1-1. While in route, officers learned the suspect recently purchased a firearm and confirmed the gun was registered to the address of this incident.

Trained negotiators initiated de-escalation dialogue with the suspect. The suspect declined communicating with the officers and refused to exit the residence. Members of the Special Response Team (SRT) and Hostage Negotiation Team (HNT) responded to the scene. At approximately 0628 hours the suspect surrendered without further incident and was arrested. The firearm was safely collected per PC12028.5

Officers provided the victim with domestic violence resources.

NOTE: Disagreements develop from time to time in relationships. Domestic violence is not a disagreement. It is a whole pattern of behaviors used by one partner to establish and maintain power and control over the other. The range of behaviors can include psychological, emotional, verbal, sexual, financial, spiritual, and physical abuse, as well as stalking and threatening behaviors. These behaviors can become more frequent and intensify over time.

Domestic violence is a serious community problem which affects individuals of all races, religions, sexual orientations and socio-economic backgrounds. It impacts people of all ages, including seniors and juveniles.

Don’t wait until you and the ones you love get hurt! If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, help is available from 24-hour crisis hotlines (Next Door Solutions, 408-279-2962; YWCA Support Network, 1-800-572-2782; Community Solutions, 1-877-363-7238). In an emergency, call 9-1-1.
